"With Gustav, however, we have been notified by the Red Cross to prepare to open shelters for evacuees from the NO area." From the look of things...I hope TN is willing to accept evacuees from other locations along the Gulf Coast as well!

It’s become invest 96L.. still rather close to land though.
And my guess would be Hannah will get close to the U.S. and ultimately not hit.

We had Katrina evacuees 3 years ago, then here came Rita. By Tuesday there was not a loaf of bread to be bought in town and Rita didn't get here until early Sat. morning. Gas lines were blocks long--before the storm and longer after.
I wasn't here---I left noon on Thurs and couldn't come home for a month. No electrcity. We were lucky; only one tree on the house. House across the stree was totaled and they just moved back in last Thanksgiving.
I never want to go thru another dirty side of a hurricane---I live 70 miles inland! We had tornadoes.

A local NBC newscaster said this morning that they had received complaints from business owners (condo rental agencies I'm sure) along the AL coast because all the coverage of the storm(s) is "scaring away holiday business". The newscaster made it clear that they are in the business of keeping the public informed for their own safety, first and foremost, when it comes to hurricanes. You could tell by his tone that he was personally a bit ticked by the complaints of them doing their job of informing the public!
I'm all for business, but I'm fairly sure which agency is bi**hing the loudest and I was glad to hear NBC15 fight back.
Anyway...just found that interesting. Back to, hopefully unnecessary, storm preps. Starting with filtering and storing/freezing water. I like using large freezer bags... do they leach like the plastic jugs?

I’ve been blessed. I’ve gone thru several hurricanes as a child...Carla being the worst but only one (Elena) as an adult. We have had lots of depressions and tropical storms but have usually been on the west side of major storms.

Yeah but in all fairness business has a gripe here too. Yes..keep the public informed but be objective about it. If a state has not called for an evacuation but just be prepared then IMO that’s the way it should be reported.

Thanks rodguy. Mom is in Gulf Shores and wants to evacuate to my house (eastern shore) on Friday! Before all the Labor Day traffic. Orange Beach is alright...met my Hubby there in '84! It's not the same place as it was 'back in the day'. lol
Anyone else remember Elena in '85? Bounced between AL and FL around Labor Day.
