I hope everyone that is in her path is safe. She looks like she is gonna be a Bit$h. I am about an hour from where she is gonna hit and we have house on the coast that will probably loose. I will pray for everyone that is closer then me. Take care everyone. here is a pick of her on the radar. The purple line is where I am and the blue dot is were our family house is at.

Our prayers are with you, Yardman.
I am also an Amateur (HAM) radio operator and ARES emergency coordinator over here in Allen Parish (western Louisiana, near Lake Charles).
We are watching it close. It looks like a bad one, Both HF and VHF radios are fired up here at this location with lots of chatter right now. My emergency backup power is fueled and on standby so that we can assist any and all if necesary should it come this way.....

**yardman1** · 08-28-2005, 08:08 PM

We're 75 miles north of ya yardman and looks like we might get at least what Ivan brought. N.O. looks like they will be under water for weeks .. months maybe.

Be safe!

Our best wishes to and prayers for everyone in the path of this storm. I used to live in hurricane country, and I'm glad to just have to deal with the earthquakes now!

I'll take earthquakes over hurricanes and tornadoes. By the time it hits the news it's over and done with. No false alarms!

I hope you guys down there are doing ok. When Kali cracks in half, I will be close to the beach.

**hankj** · 08-30-2005, 10:51 AM

Yeah, Mike, but you'll be on the EAST coast of whatever they call that piece!
