im going to stick it out...i bought a generator and had it wired to my house and i also bought a window a/c unit...but the bad thing is that my mom invited all of her friends to stay with us so its going to be miserable...only good thing is that they are all bringing gas for the generator since we are letting them stay...

well hopefully you are safe.


my mom booked a hotel about a week ago, so we'd be good no matter what. id rather stick it out at home, because i didnt think gustav would gain that much momentum but hes getting there quickly. i hope you guys are safe, as long as you have power keep us updated!

Man Low, you really need to start heading out really soon. You have no family or friends anywhere near, or should I say far? Storm surge is nothing to play around with.
