Folks - all remains well in the Baton Rouge area. All of our friends/family (that we care about) have left New Orleans.
Still too early to tell but they are expecting Baton Rouge to get hit like hurricane Andrew in 92. Our area doesn't have any trees to worry about so we are moving all of the outside items like BarBQ grills and play houses into the garage today.
Everyone has had two hurricanes this summer to get prepped for so there was actually water and food at the grocery stores last night. We have so much camping stuff thanks to living in Oregon that we have plenty of water capacity and propane. Although our utilities are underground, the sub station that feeds our neighborhood has a lot of above ground wires. I expect we will lose power but nothing else.
My Mom lives 1 1/2 hours to the west and should be fine. We have family there that has agreed to grab her if Katrina goes further west. I have a wireless cellular data card and laptop so I should be able to get email in case the weather knocks out power.
Paul and Rochelle
