Hurricane GUSTAV

[flmagi]

For anyone in the path of Gustav: Stay safe and good luck.  Batten down the hatches. This looks to be a bad one. I hope you all come out of it ok.

Enemy:  That was good! LOL

Everyone in the path:

I wish you well, and hope you all remain safe, good luck.  : )

Looks like you'll be okay over there.........you'll get the rain.

The levee project in New Orleans has never been completed since Katrina & the pump stations not repired either.  Oh Boy!

For those of you that have no idea what it's like to prepare for a hurricane during work hours, here's a bit of info of the way we handle it here in Louisiana as we watch the progress of the storm based upon the hurricane's intensity:

Hurricane Category #1
No excuse for being late for work. Leave earlier to give extra time to
avoid fallen trees and limbs.


Hurricane Category #2
Due to the horizontal rain, you may wear jeans.


Hurricane Category #3
Whereas most of the area will be flooded we suggest you
avoid wearing open toe sandals when coming to work. Canoes will be
provided to get to the building safely without getting wet.


Hurricane Category #4
More than likely there will be no electricity. Given that, we
will have manual typewriters available to all staff members. Please take
extra caution and wear water-proof make-up if Category 4 or above.


Hurricane Category #5
Velcro will be provided to keep you attached to your chairs when
the windows blow out. For those that survive, we will have chocolate
cake at 3:00 pm in the kitchen.
