Hmm, I understand. But as far as electricless, that's not a problem. I come prepared. My generator will power a fan, the fridge, tv and cable box or satellite, two lamps and a window air conditioner unit so it's not too bad.

OK, so I am listening to WWL this morning and the meteorologist is saying that the track changed so much overnight because the National Hurricane Center didn't have the true center of the storm correct yesterday (yet another thing we can blame on George Bush;-)). She opined that our first realistic track would be coming out later today.

No worries, I'll let you stay there with me. ;-) I have already made reservations at the Darghotel if they leave.
I am already worn out from messing with Gustav.

I wouldn't be packing my bags yet; however, early planning reservations are good.
Hey, if you evacuate will you leave Skunky, Punzy and I some Dargaritas in the fridge. :funn: Sorry, I had to do it.

One way to keep important papers & photos safe and easily accessible is to put them on a disk or the internet. You can easily scan documents and have a disk w/ pdfs instead of a stack of paper.
I have a dedicated gmail address that I email my pictures to for additional backup.

Local weatherman reminded us last night that 5-day-out predictions have an average error of 300 miles. Wonder what the average error is for 4 days out. . . . .

I would think the room for error decreases with time. I have often noticed that many Hurricanes like to take a quick right just before landfall.Local weatherman reminded us last night that 5-day-out predictions have an average error of 300 miles.

Yep, 5 days out they were saying Katrina would make landfall in Seagrove Beach, so I take most of their early predictions w/ a shaker of salt!

BeachSi02 called it, going north, expect heavy rains, possible flooding, tornadoes, power outages, far up into Alabama and GA.
Funny you say that. I left town for Ivan, and went back to my former home of Asheville for a week. We got heavy rains, light winds for about three or four days. It was the most rainfall in over 100 years. I have photos of Biltmore Village completely underwater. The French-Broad River was about to top the really tall bridge. I waited long enough, and when the rain stopped, I decided to head back to FL to see if I had a house. I was trapped. Couldn't go my usual way home through Biltmore Village. River Road was also under water. Tried to go leave via the west side of town, trapped again. East route of town also flooded by the river, so I had to drive north and scoot around Asheville -- crazy.
