RAIN, RAIN, PLEASE STAY, ANOTHER DAY!!

We finally got some rain and it looks like we have more on the way. It has been so dry. We have had some cooler weather move in, but it did not bring us any much needed rain. Thank goodness it has not been bad hot. When the weather does this our fall colors don't look as good. The trees dry and the leaves fall off before they can change colors!! Maybe with the rain, everyone will quit sneezing and needing antihistamines!! It has been worse for me this year than I can remember. Chase has been getting up every morning coughing and stopped up. Addie has had and runny nose too. But hers could be teething. She has also had fever!! It will soon be time for flu shots!! Everyone Roll Up your Sleeves and go get'um!!!

Gustav Was a Katrina Wannabe!!

Hurricane Gustav largely spares New Orleans! was the Headlines I saw this morning. Gustav was not as bad as they thought is was going to be... It sure did set off the Tornado Warnings though. One good thing about Hurricane tornados they are usually F0 or F1's. They are bad but not usually as deadly as the F4's you get in the spring that can wipe a home off the foundation. These with hurricanes are usually rain wrapped and hard to spot but they don't last long.

I am just glad it wasn't another Katrina.

But it is way too early to let our guard down. We are still watchin' Hanna, Ike and number nine(I think) Please continue to pray for everyone who lives along the coast and inland due to heavy flooding.....

WELL!! IT'S OFFICIAL!!!

I 'M THE SMART ONE IN MY FAMILY. GUSTAV IS BARRELING TOWARD THE COAST AND MY BROTHERS (ALL 3 OF THEM) ARE STAYING.SHORT MEMORIES IS ALL I CAN UNDERSTAND(KATRINA ABOUT THIS TIME 3 YEARS AGO) IF NOTHING CHANGES THEY ARE GOING TO RIDE IT OUT; AGAIN!! PLEASE PRAY FOR THE "HARD HEADED" MEN IN MY FAMILY! I THINK I HAVE ANOTHER NAME FOR 'EM "MORONS" AS REBA SAYS!!! THIS IS PRONOUNCED WITH THE MO AS "MOW" !!!!!

I HAVE BEEN WATCHIN' THE NEWS AND NEW ORLEANS LEARNED THEIR LESSON. THEY HAVE LEFT "DODGE" !! THEY CAN'T SAY FOR SURE IF THE LEVIES WILL HOLD.

I HAVE HAD A VERY SLEEPLESS NIGHT AND MY STOMACH IS IN KNOTS!!!

Gustav

There is another hurricane headed into the Gulf. I have family in Pascagoula, Ocean Springs, and Wiggins MS. This time of year I am on Pins and Needles and hopin that we don't have another Katrina. It filled my brothers home with about 5 foot of water and he was there when it happened. (he lives about a mile and a half from the coast) He still has not got his house back like it was. It was really hard on him.

My other brother had pulled down the attic stairs and was gathering everyone fixing to get them in the attic when the water started to recede.

My brother that lives in Wiggins is fixing to have to bring his very sick Mother-in-law home with hospice and he has four kids. It will be so hard; if not impossible for them to evacuate.

My Aunt's home, nothing was left but the roof, after Katrina. This was the same aunt that got water in her home after Camille only 5 inches From her Ceiling...these storms devastate property and change lives forever.

I was living in Pascagoula when Hurricane Camille hit and I remember it very well

If you are wondering where Pascagoula is it is right on the MS and AL border on the coast!!

Please pray that this storm goes away.

To wish it away from my family will be wishing it on someone else and I don't want to do that!!!!
