Hurricane Gustav

BarnBum · 08-27-2008, 09:47 AM

I will breath a sigh of relief when this storm passes SW Fla.

Please, everyone from the Fl panhandle to Tx prepare NOW. This looks like another Katrina storm and of course, the track can change.

There are 2 more 'areas of interest' out there ..........

Good luck to all the Floridians! I hope all of you guys fare well this Hurricane Season. My parents have a home on the coast of SC and I know hurricane season is a time for holding your breath!

Unfortunatly Georgia gets alot of the aftermaths as well. I am praying for everyone. My brother in law and nephew are almost to the Miami area to work. So prayers are definatly headed to all.

WhisperStables · 08-27-2008, 10:00 AM

So glad I live in the north (ish). Ya'll be safe though! Remimber, if you need to come this far norht to get away, our doors are always open to HT friends.

**seerfarm** · 08-27-2008, 10:36 AM

Watching this one with care...this may be the big one of the year and still uncertain as to the path. Everyone please be prepared and careful.

Anyone needing to evac and needs a place I have room as well....you can get ahold of me via PM.

samtom · 08-27-2008, 11:17 AM

State Farm is requiring all our offices to prepare now for it and my husband works for the ambulance company who has a contract with FEMA. He said he is already sick of hearing about the storm. How nice would it be for the storm to turn around and head back out.

Of course it won't happen, so we are now preparing.

Everyone please be safe and get out if they say to go.

sandy42345 · 08-27-2008, 11:28 AM

My prayers are with all in the path of this vicious storm. We have been without power since last night. high winds and rain from the aftermath.

enelson · 08-27-2008, 11:29 AM

Everyone please stay safe, and keep us updated. Just a quick line to let us know everything is okay would work. Many prayers are with you.

BarnBum · 08-27-2008, 11:48 AM

.........Just can't catch a break with the oil/gas prices. They are already saying the storm will damage the oil rigs out there in the Gulf ..............

NW/Central Fla is back in the cone. Each update is different.

I just saw the new prediction! and I'm in the loop! yikes. I'm sick of preparing but it must be done. We thought Fay was going to be bad, luckily we got the west side of the storm and it misted on Sat. and we had the sun shining on Sun. (the supposedly worst day we would have) Who knew.

DappleGrayMyWay · 08-27-2008, 01:27 PM

What horrible timing for Gustav to be headed our way right on the anniversary of Katrina. I hope everyone has taken precautions and is ready to do what needs to be done to ride this one out safely.

My mom is a Red Cross volunteer (she did insurance evaluations after K) and we support the RC with our time and our money.

Keep a weather eye out, folks. It could get ugly.

Myheartismyhorses · 08-27-2008, 01:35 PM

My parents are in Cancun right now

I saw the storm prediction and it looks like Cancun might be in the path, hopefully it doesn't strengthen any! I sure hope it doesn't do any damage in the states most of all.

ahlihaff · 08-27-2008, 02:24 PM

I pray that everyone will be safe.

BornToRide · 08-27-2008, 02:29 PM

Oh how terrifying!!!!!

Good luck to all!
Please keep us posted...my thoughts are with you

aaliyah226 · 08-27-2008, 03:24 PM

Stay safe everyone and IF asked to leave plzzzzz do so

HorseLVR · 08-27-2008, 03:38 PM

Dang it all anyway.

Maybe it'll just fizzle out...LOL. I know, fat chance. What a time to own a doublewide. *sigh* It was mobile once, I hope it doesn't get that way again. Big prayers for the safety of all my HT brothers & sisters and their families (yes, that includes those critters too!!)

PossumsDad · 08-27-2008, 06:03 PM

We just made it through Dolly. That was enough. We are in a doublewide also. It sure did rock..

First time poster.. Just wanted to say hi & for everyone to be safe..

Barnbum2106,
We have family in your area (in the air force) and they are expecting to be told whether or not to evacuate sometime today or tomorrow.

Don't wait, prepare to leave now.

Good luck to all in the path of this storm.
