Great...the tracks have shifted more west which puts us on the east side. Not looking good...for anyone in the south.

I went yesterday to go get some H2O and other stuff. All the stores are already almost sold out of water. One said they are getting an emergency shipment in on Friday, but after that they are not getting any more. If you haven't stocked up on supplies you better hurry.

I have water, but unless I like canned corn and green beans, I don't really have any food stock.
Then again, my bro-in-law's restaurant will need help cleaning out their refrigerator should they lose power.

One of my friends went spear fishing recently. He stocked my freezer up with fish. In case of an extended power outage I will be grilling lots of fish and shrimps.
For some reason every time I go to the store I crave beans and buy them. I never really eat them as fast as I buy them so I have lots of beans to keep me happy.
Remember that Monday night UT plays UCLA. Get stocked up on beer and try to pace yourself. That will get your hurricane party started right. Go Vols.

I'm not liking the latest track...but it is still 4 days out.

I'm mostly prepared. What I don't like is if they enable conta-flow, you HAVE to go west which is in the path right now. Well, I could go north, but hotels are booked thru Jackson, MS. I'd rather go east.

I am going south to Venice.

I think Italy is far enough away, but didn't realize it was south.

How about Buras?

Seriously, I may be evacuating this afternoon.

I read the other day that Gustov is selling a bunch of Ar-15's.
If ya'll are bugging in, stay safe.

You guys stay safe.

Just wanted to let y'all know the Southeast Forum is sending the SouthCentral forum..plenty of good thoughts.

Stay safe, and batten down the hatches, it may be a rough ride.

This will be a live camera in Baton Rouge.
About to go to work and make sure all my computers, generators, and other stuff is ok. Start a fresh back up of all data. I have to finish getting all the grills and yard furniture inside the house and check and make sure all the drains around here are not full of crap. Then I have to go get me a couple of new books and some more beef jerky. I ate a lot of my stash yesterday after the LSU game. Moving the game to 10 am and not getting my tailgate time in was sort of strange. Stay safe everyone.

So I take it you are staying?
As of right now I'm staying. I may change that decision late tonight. I sent the family to Houston yesterday evening and it took them 12 hours to get there.

Yeah I will be around. I have plenty of supplies. I am just a few minutes from were I work and I have to sort of make sure everything stays up and running if possible. I have a lot of people that will be connecting from around the country on the terminal servers to cover for people here. Hopefully at least one of our providers will stay up. My place should be fine. It is on higher ground and besides a few oaks there isn't much around to damage it. If I loose power for extended amounts of time I will probably spend a lot of time in our data center acting like I am working and staying cool. Other than that I have a few friends, books, and movies that will be here to entertain and help out.

One of my friend's wife is having a baby tonight. She had family drive up from Houston this weekend for that. Hopefully they don't get stuck here in miserable conditions.

It was due last week and they were planning on inducing labor tonight I think. Not sure if that is still their plan or not.
