Well,

I have the hatches battoned down.  I live just north (by 3/4 of a mile) of
the furtherest manditory evac zone on the north shore of Lake
Pontchartrain.  They evaced my wifes hospital last night.  She will be gone
for several days to Kentwood,LA.

I ask that the list members that believe in GOD to pray for us here in
Louisiana.  I have lived in or near New Orleans all of my life, and never
have I seen them call for an evacuation of the entire city as of last
night.  I have not seen the weather report yet, so the storm may have
turned, by I doubt it.

Brian
