Hurricane Gustav

Happy Labor Day! We were spared wretched weather as Tropical Storm, turned Hurricane Gustav continued on an anticipated path that has impacted the Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas coastlines. While our rivers will rise and the beach front property will experience some erosion, primarily we have been, and are currently getting gusting winds and rain. Since we were already planning to take today off, it has given me a good chance to plan out the upcoming week.

Tropical Storm Approaches

Tropical Storm Fay is hovering in Florida but is expected to SLOWLY make its way through coastal Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. While this is no laughing matter, we can't help but think this is going to bring some wind and much rain, but nothing more. When the local weather folks start using those old familiar terms like "hunker down" I can't help but smile. Those along rivers are at the greatest risk.
