Thanks. I will. Toward that end... I'm chatting still with friends in Houma (the stubborn ones) and am told that the winds haven't pick up yet. But, looking at the satellite they should be getting hurricane winds in just minutes.
That's always driven people crazy when I tell them I'm from "south of New Orleans." The reaction is always the same, "there ain't nothing south of New Orleans." Actually, Houma is south-southwest of New Orleans and it looks like they'll be getting the storm's outer bands here soon.
I think lots of us are learning more about Louisiana geography tonight than we ever knew!
Have you talked with Sheilah recently? Is she alone or with friends?
I'm on FReep so often that when I read an article at another site I scroll down for the comments
I have found myself doing the same thing many times.
Prayers for your friends...
