Lafayette here, and barring any surprises (which are often in the offing with hurricanes) neither I nor any family are in the direct path of this thing.... but I've been worried about my 89 year-old grandmother in Baton Rouge since I heard a news anchor predict that this thing could knock out power across the entire southern half of the state. I will merely be miserable without A/C for a week; her life would be at risk. Good luck to everybody.

Go get your grandmother now. It's only 50 miles and you can help her in the aftermath. If you all don't get hit, then you can just call it a pleasant visit. But, go get her now before it is too late.

Lafayette here,…

Lafayette… home of Prejean’s.

I used to run between Houston and Panama City pretty regularly and that was my secret eating place… probably not around anymore ‘cause that was a long time ago…

Leave Houston around 4:00, hit Prejean’s by 8:00 – the joint would be jumpin’ by then. Slide into Panama City under cover of darkness around 4:30am. Those were the good old days when “fun” was working all day and driving all night…

Good luck.
