Are you evacuating, and do you have a place to go?
I live in FL and have been getting hit with some of the effects.

No Brenda we are not evac. We're on the height side of Slidell and we are predicting getting hit by the T.S. winds. 50-100 mph. So God willing we will be OK. If it was a cat. 5 yes we would have no choice. After what we went through Katrina 24hrs on the road falling asleep at the wheel 3dogs 4kids. Just to drive to Tenn. which is a 6 hr. drive. No way. I'm 3 yrs older and have 5 dogs instead of 3 and 4kids and other family members. One truck and no money. Needless to say I'm scared for my family but there's nothing I can do. I stocked up on provisions and hope for the best. If the house bl owes away and we do have to make a run for our life then we jump in the truck. We have a full tank of gas and head north or ma by come see you in FLA. check out Mickey and the guys. :D Anyway Now I have the sons girlfriends and their family coming to stay with us. If I die I'll have lots of company. :D Now I just heard that the hurricane is moving to the west a little at the time. This is great news for us. we might just get hit with the outside bands. As far as the stormsurge goes like I said we live on the higher ground of Slidell. For Katrina we lived in the lower part of Slidell and well you know what Katrina did. WE lost everything. I think it is more stressfull in waiting for the hurricane than the hurricane itself. MAN speaking about stressing out. Anyways thanks for you and the rest of y'all prayers. See you on the flip side.

Thank you for asking for our support Darren. My prayers are w/ you and your family. I am glad you are using your sense of humor to get you thru!
Eileen I can't help feeling those thoughts as well! My son lives in Tampa and he is already watching for Hurricane Hannah!
I live in Michigan and we always have to watch out for tornadoes and I even felt the windows shake in my house from an earthquake!
It doesn't matter where we live if we "live in the shelter of the Most High" Ps 91
Darren, read all of Psalm 91 (you probably already know it), memorize it, believe it and trust God!! God Bless you!

Thanks gmik, no matter where one lives we are in danger from mother nature. Hurricanes in the south east, tarnados in the heartland and earthquake in-the west and snow storm and ice storms in the north. So it doesn't matter where you live. I tell you amazed me in the aftermath of Katrina I was reading on line here people were blaming us for living in a soup bowl(*New Orleans) That it was our fault. Man That got my blood pressure up. Now those same people will be blaming us for rebuilding the city and making our homes here once again. If the same kind of distaster happens with Gustav. I must give credit to our leaders both local and Federal level. They really did a great job in preparing for this hurricane. Evac went more smoothly the hospitals and nursing homes got their patients out and if you remember many died strap to their bed in nursing home doing Katrina. The Lord worked in mystries ways. The Lord making sure the lost of life in at its least. One last thing the weather service had put Gustav at a cat.4 yesterday evening. Now when Gustav hits land theysay it will be a Cat. 2 With 115mph it is not as bad so we are looking better than yesterday. But then again Katrina was a cat 2-beginning 3 when it hit New Orleans, so it really just all a matter of how muchstorm surge is pushed in following the storm. We will be on the east side of the storm so this is the wet and windy side. We've done everything possible now we just have to wait it out.
Thanks,Darren
