Time to take my car and go. Oh yeah, and the wife and kids! As we live below sea level here in New Orleans, it's best not to be around when a storm like Ivan drops by for a visit. Hope to be back soon.

I hope God watches over you all. My mother had to leave her home from Ivan too. Lets pray something happens and Ivan weakens. And remember, stuff can always be replaced.

Be safe! This has not been a good weather year for any of us in the southern US.
Good luck and stay safe, hopefully this will be your only evacuation this year.

What a crazy season in the tropics this year. It doesn't look to be letting up either. I feel your pain and hate being an admin sometimes but this did belong in the lounge.
Good luck!
Good luck!

With 3 chillun and 7 grand demons in Mobile, my lady and I were sweating it out last night. Looks like all are OK. The ones that ran to B'ham may have to weather the tornadoes later today. Andy545 and Maria werre scheduled for Pensacola today and then on through Mobile and NO. They may be OK if he skirts Pensacola. He should have some stories to share. No way he can get back to Houston from Atlanta without encountering Ivan at some stage.
Those of you who have weathered hurricanes can easily relate to the following list:
THINGS HURRICANES TEACH US (and Andy may be learning)
1. An oak tree on the ground looks four times bigger than it did standing up.
2. When house hunting, look for closets with lots of leg room.
3. Water from the shower is much colder than water from the kitchen
sink---and tastes just as bad.
4. AA, C, and D are the only alphabet we need (batteries).
5. The four-way stop is still an ingenious reflection of civility.
6. Radio can be the best way to watch television.
7. Chainsaw-wielding-men are nothing to be afraid of.
8. SUVs are the best makeshift tents on the market.
9. You can use your washing machine as a cooler.
10. It's your God given right to sit on your back porch and eat Chinese
takeout by candlelight in your underwear.
11. We shouldn't complain about "useless" tools in the garage-- we actually
DO need a generator
12. You can't spell "priceless" without I-C-E.
13. Downed power lines make an excellent security systems.
14. The puddle in front of your house can generate waves.
15. Gasoline is a value at any price
16. Cell phones: Breaking up isn't hard to do.
17. The life blood of any disaster recovery is COFFEE.
18. The need for your dog to go out and take care of business is inversely
proportional to the severity of the storm.
19. Candlelight is better than botox--- it takes years off your appearance
20. Air Conditioning: BEST. INVENTION. EVER.
21. Water is a comfort food. But 3-day-old Cheetos are too.
22. Shadow animals on the wall---Still fun.
23. No matter how hard the wind blows, roadside campaign signs will survive.
24. You should never admit to having power at your house in the presence of
co-workers or neighbors who do not.
25. There's a plus to having NOTHING in the refrigerator.
26. Getting through the day should be an Olympic event.
27. The movie theater can be a most pleasant place, even if the feature is
Alien vs. Predator.
28. Somebody's got it worse.
29. Somebody's got it better. Obviously, they are getting preferential
treatment.
