What's Up, Gustav?

Well it looks like we've got another hurricane in the Caribbean. Poor old Haiti is getting pounded right now with hurricane force winds. It looks like the track will have it in the Gulf of Mexico on Sunday afternoon. We are talking about cleaning up around the church property this week (tying down buildings, getting rid of junk, etc.) so we can concentrate on our homes and possible evacuation should things start to deteriorate. I will keep you posted on that as soon as we know. As far as Fay goes, we just got this misty kind of rain and some wind out of that storm. I'm so glad it wasn't any worse. They were talking about major flooding of low-lying areas. Anyway, we were fortunate with that storm. Who knows what Gustav will do? Meanwhile, we begin looking at the trees around our house to decide which ones will have to go because they've gotten too tall and will end up falling on the house during a hurricane. We clean and prepare to pack up our belongings. This time I want to go to a place that has electricity and running water. A telephone would be nice, too or at least good cellphone reception. Definitely air conditioning. I about died for lack of cool air the last time. We're praying it'll dissipate. We're praying if it must make landfall, it will go into an unpopulated area. We just watch, wait, and act as necessary.
