Rain rain go away/Tiniest Gustav refugee

So this is what Gustav looks like to the Ark-La-Tex. We are under tornado warnings as the eye of the storm passes and heads west. Apparently the eye is close to Shreveport right now. Nothing too exciting. The shelters are functioning well according to the news, but are in need of supplies like toiletries. People will begin heading back to NOLA as soon as possible, but that won't be today. Lucas is out on a job, but said other than being soaking wet things are going well. This is his first time being completely cut loose and on his own! Again, I am so proud of him!

Gustav/Monday morning

As Gustav is making landfall on the coast we are sitting in 80 degree, blue sky weather! They are predicting floods to match and surpass what happened in May, but we live on the high side of town, fairly far from the river so we probably will be okay. The shelters are all full here in town and every hotel room is taken! Pray for the people of this state! Many people are having emotional difficulties simply because of Katrina memories. People are literaly reliving their worst nightmare! The kids especially need prayer! The highschoolers at our church were all praying together on sunday at the alter. At least 20 kids were up there arm in arm. Pray for peace and calm! Pray for the storm to weaken quickly!
