Hurricane Isaac!

Looks like we're gonna take a direct hit. The power is already out. Running the generators. Winds are picking up and the sky is puttin on a good show. I don't think this will be much of a water event. Not too much rain in the system and it looks like it will move through fairly fast. Gonna be a long night, though. Got a stack of cigars, booze, water and portable energy. Been through this before. Hopefully, I have enough fuel to keep power to the tv, computer and refrigerator for a few days.

I've only left for one storm in my life, Katrina. Its hard to answer your question. Many reasons to leave, many to stay. I can give you a better answer tomorrow. Cheers!

Stay safe brother! Just curious, were you around for Camile back in the day? I wasn't, but my parents were living in Biloxi when it came through. I was born soon thereafter....hmmmm

Hang in there Beatnic. Hoping you don't get any damage.

I lived in Arkansas when Katrina and Rita came through. You can't even run north when they come in this direction. Rita put on a show in AR, so take cover my friend, or as we said in Arkansas hunker down. Best of luck, and stay safe.

Batten down the hatches and hunker down, it's going to be a long night

hanging tough. Got a generator and watching the sky show. Even got to watch Chris Christie give his speech. Might not sleep much.

Hang in there, hoping for y'all to experience a kinder, gentler hurricane.

Best of luck, brother!

Wild night. All seems OK. The contents of my neighbors tree has been shredded and deposited on my lawn. Otherwise OK. Running on generator and the internet is still connected. Could be worse.

Just talked to my wife again. House next door lost some siding and a piece of their eaves, thats what was in our yard. Sucks for them, but thankfully no damage for us so far.
