Amy and Giz are now at Rie-Rie's house checking out the room they will be staying in until this is all over with. They want to check out the whole house but I am afraid that would be far to stressful on Amy. Chester realized they were there and he headed right to the door of the room they were in and I couldn't get him out before I left to come back and do the last few things and get Samantha. Giz didn't want to get in the kennel with Amy so I had to use the extra one for her and said I would just come back to get Sam

They are telling the ones who should have evuacated, if they haven't gotten out, to just stay put now. This storm is going to throw its effects over a 600 mile span in width, 300 miles on the west side and 300 miles on the east side.(we will be on the west side) New Orleans is soon going to be getting the first band of storms and rain from it so we won't be to far behind but as of right now, it is a beautiful, sunny day with a nice breeze blowing. They said our biggest threat is the flooding in our area. Now, if I can just get my neighbor to pick up all the stuff in their yard behind me and put it away where the wind won't blow it into my house!
