I have family in Houston, but I am afraid of going there and getting hit there by Gustav. That’s what is driving me crazy, the unpredictability of these storms! We are about 50 mies from Lake Charles. If I were in LC, I would definitely be making plans to leave! A few months after Rita we went down to Cameron Parish and saw some of the storm damage. It was unbelievable! No houses, only slabs, some with FEMA trailers next to them. Cars, refrigerators, mobile homes lying out in the middle of nowhere. When my husband gets back and retires from the Army, we are moving to Arizona!
If you stay in Leesville, be sure you go to a shelter for the duration of the storm.
