Yeah, especially when its 1000 dollars worth of poultry. We did have quite a bit of cleanup, spent two days picking up palm fronds and limbs.

This sucks. What more can I say...

Good luck to my southeastern coastal brethren!

Do you have a generator? That's one of the 1st things I bought when moving to my new home

I spent the last five hours sitting in Grainger for a generator. I called at 8am, they said some were due at anytime. At 1:30 pm, I finally get my generator.

I'm from there, right on the gulf near the TX/LA stateline, just in Canada for a few more weeks. I'm watching closely, Rita went right over my city 3 years ago.

Gustav has gone from a tropical storm to Cat 4 hurricane in 25 hours!!!! Toys2Cool, it looks like you should be getting some winds and rain from it right now.

[GSPUSA]

From this tracking map it should be down to a one by the time it hits my house, I'm feeling for everybody.

Man, I am glad you got a Jennie. I lived on the Gulf Coast and having a Jennie makes all the difference in the world. Lay up some water, propane, or charcoal for grilling and you are a king when the pooh hits the propellers.

Its rained here in Central FLA all day. Gustav's pulling it over us from the Atlantic. I've picked up over 4 inches already.
