Hurricane Ivan

We are hankering down and stocking up on supplies for the storm. Me and all my babies are going to my daughters house to sit it out since I live in a mobile home. I am not returning to work tomorrow as scheduled since there is no point in even TRYING to go, to much to tend to here before and (hopefully NOT) after the storm. Traffic here is already bad, long lines at the gas pumps.. TV said all hotel and Motel rooms are full in Baton Rouge already. Mandatory evacuations in the coastal areas and calling for volunteer evac in a the New Orleas area. I expect I -55 will be a parking lot tomorrow and I-10 no better. (Couldn't get to the boat if I wanted to for the traffic!)

my daughter is online so I will be able to check in until the power is out.... Then... I may be offline and in the dark awhile but I will get back to you soon as I possiably can!

Me and babies will load up and go to my daughters tomorrow so I will be around until, HOPEFULL tomorrow evening. We are just outside Baton Rouge about 10 to 20 minute drive, depending on traffic, not far from I-10. (So if you see on TV that Baton Rouge and New Orleans got squashed... we did too.:eek: ) Wish us all luck, all of us on the gulf coast, my sister in the Florida panhandle too!

Good luck. You and your family (fur and skin) will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Prayers going out your way that all fur and skin peeps stay safe and unharmed.

Laura, good luck to you and your family. You will all be in my prayers. Be safe. --- Meg

Please stay safe. Best wishes for you and your family. Check in when you can. :) Liz

Good luck, this has got to be scary!

I'm glad you aren't battling the heavy traffic enroute to work, and instead packing up & getting out. Hope all down in that area are safe, along with their pets. Prayers too that everyone will ride it out without damage.

Good Luck Laura to you and all of your family! You do whatever you have to do to keep you and the furbabies safe. We will be praying for all of you and everyone in the path of this horrible storm!

Please stay safe Laura!! Sending prayers for you and your family!

Laura, you and your entire family will be in our prayers. I'm glad you're getting out. Thank goodness for your daughter!!!! :)

We will be anxiously awaiting a report from you.
