Every time I see a map of the Gulf, Cuba gets closer. What the hell is up with that. Hurricanes move islands?
Sapo, tie your insurance guy to your mailbox and let him ride out the storm from there. :LOL:

You see where 80 west & 20 north is? I can't get wind storm once it passed that point.. I don't carry it until I think I need it because it is a rip off... Now I might need it and the Jackass burned me... I'm switchin to the Texas Farmers coop for everything....I'm chillin and Q-in now!!!! :D :) :D
 
This one is gonna suck. BR is gonna be on the east side and close enough to get some major wind.

Do you guys use a wind deflector while your cooking? I'm thinking the worst will be dodging street signs and other small missles while I'm trying to bbq.

All joking aside. RUN!!!!!
 
That's like the Herman cartoon where a guy calls his ins agent asking for all the fire ins he can get before 5 pm :LOL:
It is what it is... tighten your chin strap, hunker down and how for the best.
You may see a Cuban blow bye. :LOL:
Good luck dude.

I'm in S. La for the weather Channel.... There goes JB, Knine, RB, TH and Buffarillo.. Got room for me?

Looks like Mr. Gustav was skeered of LSU or something. Been pretty managable here today. I even got power! :shock:

Woke up at 0230 expecting the worse, but no problemo so far.

Here is my labor day cook and some videos.

Got a couple more hours before the roast is done. Looks like mostly a rain event for me this far away from it.

How you making out JB. You are 14 miles closer than I am.
 
Well I'm still siting here without power except for a generator running a few things. If you have a 2008 Chevy 2500 4x4 check your spare to see if it will drop down. Mine didn't and I spent 21 hours trying to get a flat fixed. I guess I ran over a house or something in the road???

At one point I was stranded for 4.5 hours in a parking lot waiting for someone to bring me a spare tire so I could get back to search and rescue. But they got delayed as well cause their spare wouldn't come off either!!!!

Spent extra attention to keeping the Blackberry from getting wet in the 15+ inches of rain but when I set it on the kitchen counter of the camper the roof leaked on it all night while I was trying to sleep and slap mosquitos at the same time.

All in all I came out pretty good except for the 1.5 billion limbs in my yard and pool. No damage to my house from the 95mph gusts of wind though so that's good. I did manage a few cooks in the evening hours when I could make it back home but I only took a couple of pics

There is an army of linemen on my street today so I may get power tonight. Still working out of the EOC each morning until further notice so cooking this weekend is iffy.

Mrs RB and and the teen cleaned the yard while I've been out and had cold beer waiting on me when I got home each day!!!!

No gas around here for the last three days so i had to travel 55 miles to the EOC to get some from a tanker each day to keep the generator running, which was also provided by the company.

I'm just about getting used to the routine of generator management and they are going to turn the power back on??? Oh well. The lack of noise will be pleasent sleeping.

750,000 people without power here. Worst event in Entergy history for this area. Getting your power back is not political as some would say cause the Mayor lives right down the street and he sweats too. When my Entergy working neighbor went and got a generator I knew it was bad.

In this video RB, what is that white material across the street? The neighbors patio cover?
 
the Line men , PD , FD and the serving public are the heroes most of the time but after a stuff like this they are life savers .


from my family to all public service people all over the USA,


THANKS!

Yep. That's his patio cover. I watched it first blow onto the top of his roof, then the wind caught it again and shreaded it up.
