I just happened upon this posting online and found the words haunting. The writer identifies herself as DomandGabesmom, evidently a resident of New Orleans and survivor of the hurricane Katrina which devastated the city a few years ago – the post features a weather map illustrating the progress of hurricane Gustav toward New Orleans. Note the time of the post.

Hurricane Gustav

Well I know I haven’t posted in a long time and I’m not sure who might or might not still read this blog. We are evacuating New Orleans tomorrow morning. We’ll be heading up to Northern Alabama to wait until Gustav passes. If we can come back, we will. If not, the plan is to head out west. Literally. We’ll be heading back to California to start over at least until it’s safe for us to come back. Clinton is really set on coming back to rebuild. I am honestly not. He is an electrician though so these hurricanes keep him working. Anyway, if you’re still reading, please keep us in your prayers. I will try to update again in a few days and let people know if we are coming back or heading to Cali.
