Hurricane Gustav

First: Thanks for getting this thing going again, Mike!

Ok, now on to business.

We have the Weather Channel on, and they are talking about Gustav. They just announced that they are not using the Superdome or the Convention Center as shelters--in other words, if you are going to evacuate, do it now. Additionally, Dan's dad said that that some or all of the major roads leading to and from Louisiana will now all be northbound.

I'm so glad that they are actually doing something this time. Although it seems odd that that something is closing huge shelters, I think (I hope) that it works in getting people out of the area. While I obviously hope that the hurricane doesn't hit in New Orleans, I'm glad that there are so many precautions being taken.
