Another Hurricane - Nooooooooooooooooooo

[Scootergirl]

My sister is my only close family and she lives in New Orleans. She has already evacuated to Jackson, MS. Not sure why she's going east, but at least she's further north and out of the dish bowl of N.O.

I wish my dogs were calm. They are all so nervous and fidgety, they're not even eating - that's VERY unusual. My husband and I are calmer than they are. The cats are even acting fidgety and they usually nap through everything.

We've got the boards up. I'm going to take a shower and now and see if any stores are still open so I can get some bleach to clean my tubs before I fill them up and try to find some sand bags.

i hope that you and your family are safe, Jeanne.  my dogs probably wont stay very calm for much longer because i just went out to my horses and they are all very skiddish and kind of freaked the dogs out so we will see.

I just got off the phone with a friend who WAS going to stay put in her MOBILE HOME until Katrina became a Cat 5. She is bringing her dogs over here while she evacuates west to Morgan City, so we'll now have 7 dogs and 7 cats. That sounds pretty lucky to me!! If we can just get 5 more people over here we'll have a JACKPOT!!

i think that i could get 4 more ppl and we would come stay so that way maybe we would be lucky enough to make it through with no damage.

[Scootergirl]

Well, come on! The more the merrier - there's not much room, but there's lots of wet kisses and noses!

[amberdoggoneit]

that is all that i would need to get through this storm.  Wet kisses and noses.  I think that  my dogs are goin to be the only things that are goin to keep me sane because of how goofy they are.

I had Sugar Bear in my arms with him sleeping during Ivan.  Then again he was only about 30lbs at that time.  Time to go finish putting up the boards.  Maybe we will have a BPO hurrican party as long as the power is on.  I will bring the chip, beer, and rum.  See ya at the party.  Good Luck to everyone,

I'm gonna keg 5 gallons of Pale Ale, and have that ready for Monday.  Maybe I'll just drink my way through it
Oh don't forget to bring a chainsaw in with you so you can cut your way out when it is over .. Kidding, But we did that for Ivan, just never know

LOL Amber - good one (Still Melissa typing, not Brandon) I thought you lived in Baldwin county???

I'm making a roast for tonight and got some snacks today at the store - Brandon's been boarding up, i'm going to finish cleaning up the deck/plants outside, etc and get our bed down from the upstairs bedroom. I'm scared of tornadoes after a hurricane/during one, etc. Bava's all laid back, we got some shots of him with his doggles on and right now he's playing with his squeaky chicken. Lisa, Amber, let's keep in touch with each other thru this thing. Ya'll in Louisiana, we're thinking about you, praying etc for you. Let us know how you fare....let's hope it slows down a LOT.
