Hey everyone!

Just wanted to say that we still have power, and are definitely alright so far. The winds will pick up pretty soon, and there is much more rain to come.

Gustav now a tropical storm;

However; Rain and wind will continue through Tuesday Night

Flooding and Tornadoes are possible.

Let's hope it continues to weaken

By the way; Anyone hoping Detroit gets some of the rain later this week from Gustav;

We ain't!

Best chance of rain here will be late Wednesday into Thursday Morning

Only a 40 percent chance of showers and isolated T storms, though

As a cool front approaches from the West

Otherwise bone dry all week

Subject: Re: Hurricane Gustav Tue Sep 02, 2008 5:39 pm

The remnant is supposed to combine with the new cold front! Let's hope it brings something wet!

Subject: Re: Hurricane Gustav Wed Sep 03, 2008 1:53 am

Hopefully

We need rain

Subject: Re: Hurricane Gustav Wed Sep 03, 2008 2:54 pm

Just remnants of a tropical depression

Thank God it wasn't another Katrina

Hi Everyone.

I'm back after being without electricity since about 1 PM CT Monday afternoon.

A lot of the state continues to not have power, but my sister's house was lucky enough to get it back last night. (that's where I am now and will be for the night)

Both of my homes (father and mother's) weren't damaged, but had a lot of debris in their yards. We were lucky as compared to my uncle, who dining room window shattered and part of his chimney fell to the ground, which let in water through the roof. Also, my aunt and uncle's home got about 2-3 feet of water in it.

I ask that you please continue to pray for our state and its people. Thank you.
