Its a beautiful day here, very hot and humid but a beautiful sky. No visual indiction just yet of the danger heading this way. The interstates are packed but still moving (in spite of an accident on I-10 between Baton Rouge and Lafayette on the bridge over the Atchalafaya basin). Last I heard, all the hotels in the direction of Baton Rouge and the surrounding area are fully booked through Tuesday. Needless to say, store shelves are emptying as fast as they can stock them. I have been bagging ice as fast as I can make it. Everyone anticipates a prolonged power outage. All the major hotels have advised their guests that they will have generator power within 24-48 hrs after the storm but that they will most assuredly be in the dark for a while. Folks, this is going to be mighty bad. Please keep all of us in your prayers and pray that Katrina loses some of her punch before landfall.
You didn't leave??

You kids keep yourselves in one piece, ya hear ?!
