I hope to stay here too, but not making plans for this large brood of mine would be completely stupid! I have hotel reservations now in nice places that I can cancel if we don't have to evacuate, and now I can watch, wait, and enjoy the rest of this week!

Sounds smart to me.

Anywhere close and a Cat 1 or above and you'll be seeing the taillights of the scootermobile! :leaving:

Worst case scenario if I evacuate: I spend less than $100 on gas and have a nice visit w/ my relatives.

Worst case scenario if I stay: ranges from a miserable couple of days to major physical damage to myself and my possessions.

At a Cat 1...I am scared...call me chicken, call me what you want....but I am heading north. You see, been there done that and I am NOT doing it again. I'll head to my place in Paxton or head to hubby's place on Lookout Mountain (North of Gadsden). Hubby and the kids are heading out Friday afternoon for the holiday weekend and I am staying since I am going to NC on the 9th. But if Gustav is heading anywhere near here....I'm North with the puppy herd.

Even way up here in IL I'm glued to the updates and models and thinking about all of you and praying for the best.

My brother and his family live just west of Mobile so I'm keeping in touch with them as well. After Katrina, it took over a week to finally get in touch with him because of power outages.

This next 3 - 4 days are gonna be very long and stressful for all of you!

The guesstimates keep moving east. As of 4pm, I am seeing Monday afternoon/evening landfall on NOLA. Since Katrina made landfall August 29, 2005, this would be just 3 days after the 3 year anniversary and it is another Russian name. The Weather Channel is going to have a field day over the next few days on this one.

Gustav is of Swedish origin, not Russian. In the grand scheme of things I guess it doesn't matter if it hits NOLA again.

Thanks for the correction.

No one wants that kind of Swedish massage!
