GUSTAV came and went...

And we were shut down...

I don't think you see that too often. This shot above was taken on Monday in the late morning. We had taken most of Sunday and had gotten things ready for the storm. It had been projected to move into our area as a cat 1 or Tropical storm.

Lowes decided to use the lumber and put it up on most of the glass in the front.

And with everyone to the south being evacuated before the storm got here, most of the business were out of gas and out of food. McDonalds and Wendy's were both closed. There was really only one place that didn't shut down and I'm sure they had a HUGE day...

Yummy!
But, the storm ended up coming through and though it was alittle rough, we didn't lose power, we had plenty of food, we even had sandbags just in case the water got too high. But the storm seemed to do more damage to the east of us than here. We were very lucky. But with more storms out there in the water, we still have a long way to go before the Season is over. I'm gonna go get another taco. Bye!!!
