***Debbie S is safe and sound. . .

Debbie, George, and GIII, her son, are safely at her sister's on the other side of the "big pond."  She said it just took them an hour to get there and they are hoping to be able to ride things out there and not have to go farther! I told her I'd report in as everyone would want to know as soon as we heard anything from her.  I'm not sure how long that bridge over Lake Ponchartrain (sp?) is, but I think 20 some miles????? Don't quote me on that but it's loooonnnnggg and nothing bu****er all around. I sure wouldn't want to be crossing it will heavy winds and rain. I'm so glad they've arrived there safely.

Hi gang, it's me!  The Causeway is approx. 25 miles long with nothing but the lake as far as you can see.  My niece is being nosy!  She's 9 and full of the devil!  But cute as can be.  She'll keep us all entertained.

Talk to you soon!  Deb

Glad you are safe and settled in for a while!

Hi Debbie,
I am so glad you are safe. I was thinking of you all day even when I was on the plane today.
We are getting rain and wind now from the storm here in the Tampa Bay area.
Now waiting for the TS Storm Hanna to hit.

Debbie,
glad you and your family are safe.   I complain about the winter weather up here and I know we have tornadoes around here, but I don't think I could live where you do with all those hurricanes.
Those seem awful scary.
Good luck!
Mickey

Hey Debbie, Sooo glad to hear that you're safe and sound!

Thanks to Karen for the update.
The Road Atlas has been my friend , been following your trip north. Rest well dear sister, Peg

Glad to hear yall are alright Deb.  We've been tuned in to the weather channel all weekend.  Talked to all of our folks yesterday.  Even though they had a mandatory evac (Iberia Parish) they chose not to go.  They just boarded up their windows.  My Mom (who lives in Jeanerette) did go to my brother's house, in Youngsville.  I'm so glad Gustav lost a lot of its umph (is that a word?).  It doesn't look too bad.  Good Luck,  Hope yall don't have too much damage.

Aloha sweet Debbie.......Oh wow...I am so happy to see your face this morning! That means you are safe and sound. I think you are less worried about the whole situation that we all are!! LOL

Stay dry, stay happy, and keep coming back to update us.

Aloha nui loa,

Maui Karen

Good to hear! I've been worried about her.  Hope Gus isn't as bad as it is sounding ... but then Hannah is supposed to be really bad too (the storm behind it).
