Keep us in La. in your thoughts

I already have been myself.  stay safe, George (ITYRN!)! 

The subject line said La.  I thought you meant Lower Atlanta .  Suffice to say many still have not fully recovered from Irene, so I'll definately be incline-ing to send up some prayers for ALL that will be in the impact areas.  36 hours of rain is definately NOT good.
 
Stay safe!

Tip:  Stay ABOVE the water.

(And good luck!)

Take a pad and pencil and write down some possible lyrics about the whole experience.  Helps keep your mind off of it plus something really good might come out of it!

Heh - the last year in my old house (on top of a ridge that looks East), we had so-called "East Winds" that exceeded 80mph...  This wasn't deemed to be anything out of the ordinary - laff!

Still south of me but looking to get wet on the ride home this eve.

I had a big, BIG pine tree hit a truck on my side I was passenger in. It was during
an ice storm a couple of years back.
I was with a driver and a passenger in the back seat and we had just taken off-probably
doing 25-30 mph when the tree came from the side and hit the hood and pillar
on my side. When everything stopped I couldn't sit up in the seat, everything was
covered in glass and the tree had put a powerline on the truck. Guys behind us later
told us it knocked the tail of the truck up in the air over 6 ft.
We had a radio and called for help...stuck in there for about an hour.
Hardest I've ever been hit and not knocked out lol  didn't get a scratch. Well there were
little pieces of glass stuck in me but nothing really bad. I did have to get my hands x-rayed
to make sure none got inside. Just a hassle.

Now when the wind blows...and it does kick-up before the storms hit- I get to watchin'
trees LOL.

Hoping for the best outcome for you and everyone there.

as of 8:20 PM we are experiencing severe rain barrages and continuous steady winds of 30-40 with gusts much higher. Flooding in places that dont flood.The ground will be saturated and trees will. uproot from this ..Lot power at 1:30 today and have been told could be as late as tuesday before power is restored Cell phone and texting service is dismal, but the dsl connection is up. I am on generator power at this time.

keep us posted, MM.  still praying for you and the whole area.  I understand there's a lot of people without power and a lot of flooding.

I am blessed compared to SLidell, Laplace,South of New Orleans, even Franklington, Madisonville, ALL those cities are flooding . SOme people were trapped in attics(and rescued)some escape with water high in their houses.... Now the job of restoring power, clearing fallen trees, and putting lives back together begin. I have one leak on my roof that actually came from the central heaters exhaust vent(wind forced water down it),.Still on generator, dont expect power any time soon, even though I am on a main road and feeder.Thanks to all for the prayers and wishes. @Craigb-- I am writing a blues song per your idea, too bad Isaac was a he, a she woulda made a great blues woman done me wrong song !!

thank you, Starise. BTW, clinked on your music link and am enjoying some of the tunes now.I dont know how young of a person you are, but your different selections of genre seems to evoke decades of styles!!!
