I spent a fair bit of time this weekend monitoring the Hurricane Gustav situation. Overall, it appears things went fairly well, though it was disconcerting when a couple ships in one of the canals came unmoored during the storm. It looks like power will be restored in fairly short order and everyone will be able to return to New Orleans and the surrounding areas.
There’s no telling how MackenzieMom’s house has fared just yet. She suspects it’s probably fine, with the only worrisome area being a top-heavy tree that may have fallen over. My best friend J is staying there for the duration of her AmeriCorps service, so she prepped the house, boarded up windows, etc., and then evacuated. When she returns, that’s about the first that we’ll be able to tell.
Overall, though, I think it worked out.
