Gustav Update #1
Gustav has made landfall, and Baton Rouge is beginning to feel its effects. I woke up at 9:00 AM to some gusty winds, small limbs and leaves on the lawn, and a lot of rain. The massive amounts of rain that will continue are the major scare for me. I'm thankfully not in a flood zone, but Baton Rouge seems to flood a lot without a hurricane. I'll try and keep you updated throughout the day.
On a lighter note:
- I think "squall" is a funny word. Our forecast for the day is calling for "squalls" and potential 58mph winds. I know it's childish, but I do think it's funny.
- Finally, my favorite part of hurricane season is the news reporters who stand out in the storm and report. I just heard this quote from a lady from Fox News: "It feels like a shower of needles hitting me in the face."
