I am evacuated. I don't like it, but I am. We are in Baton Rouge. Hurricane Gustuv (what a name, eh?) is headed right for lower Terrebonne/Lafourche parish. Since yesterday it has started on a more easterly track. I can't decide if that is good or bad. I don't think it really matters. It's so close to Thibodaux that I think we are in big trouble.
I can not stand the thought of flooding. If that happens I don't know what we will do. Our neighborhood has never flooded before as far as anyone knows, but there always a first time for everything.
I can handle if the roof gets blown off. I can handle if the giant pecan tree across the street lands in my living room, but please NO WATER!
I am also worried about my grand parents. They are at my house. The won't go any further away from Grand Isle.
Today's track looks awful for Grand Isle. This could be it for the tiny island that my family has called home for a hundred years. It'll kill my grand paw if the house is destroyed. My mom won't go back again. I don't know what will happen.
If Thibodaux goes down we are all in too much trouble to comprehend. We can't all end up homeless.
Today, I want to have a good day. I don't want to look at another pessimistic map. I'll panic tomorrow morning. Today could be the last good day for a very long time.
By the way. My grand paw's scale said 194 last night. My house scale would disagree, but I'll take it.
God Speed.
