We Are Ready

The latest Radar Pictures.

Well, its about 6:00 pm on Sunday evening and we are ready for Gustav. All the windows are boarded, the plants have been made as secure as possible and we are sitting tight and waiting.

Predictions about Gustav's path take it right through the center of Lafayette with 100 mph winds. Thank goodness we cut the pine trees on the property line after Hurricane Lily. We are in for a breezy evening tomorrow.

Here are some pictures of our area before the storm. The funny thing is the birds are no longer around. Its sooooo quiet when you walk outside. During Hurricane Lily, there was a Hummingbird that kept flying to the one feeder I didn't take down. Here we have 100+ winds and there is this poor bird flying back and forth.

The above are from our house. The rest are from around the neighborhood. Somebody still has a sense of humor. These guys aren't taking any chances. There are crosses painted on their windows. So I came home and painted one on one of my windows also. Can't ever be too safe.
