"We've taken in all the balcony furniture, all the pool furniture, the marquees, tied up what needs to be tied up, cut down any coconuts," said hotel manager Dan Szydlowski"
Folks all over Louisiana, and other places, are getting ready for a hurricane. Gustav is headed our way. Even though I'm in northwest Louisiana, we are expecting to be affected as well, not just with sheltering evacuees but by some nasty weather. Gustav is a Cat 3 right now which means as it continues its inland track, it will still likely create havoc with our local weather. In Shreveport, we've already received nursing home evacuees. Shelters for both humans and pets are in place and are already receiving people.
My thoughts and prayers are, of course, with all those south of me that are going to be and are currently being affected by Gustav, especially those Katrina survivors who must surely be having nightmare flashbacks right now.
