Gustav!

Gustav took aim at the Louisiana coast, with Tanya's and my family in it's direct path. Of course neither of our families would evacuate from there homes. We received dozens of calls from our friends here in Alabama that were concerned about our families. Thank you all for your concern and prayers. Monday the storm came ashore in south Terrebone parish. The storm surge and strong winds caused major damage in the coastal regions. Of course not many people know this because most of the coverage was focused on Poor New Orleans. Since Katrina the media has been foaming at the mouth to have another disaster they could cover. Too many were just watching and waiting for the levees to fail again. Of course the storm went further west and N.O. was to the east side which as we all know is the worst side to be on. However, Terrebone and Lafourche (La-fush)parishes were the heaviest hit.

I spoke with my dad yesterday and he was at his grocery store. He opened up on Tuesday under generator power to provide what ever he could to the town. Of course he had armed guards to keep the piece. He reported roof damage and lots of debris. Reports were that power would be out for several weeks due to the damaged lines.

Tanya's parents we are yet to here from. Her brother Ryan is a First responder and is out helping to coordinate relief and rescue efforts. His wife is nun to happy about it but understands it is in his nature.

Anyway we wait for updates.
