What a Storm!

We are still feeling the effects of Hurricane Gustav. The rain has stopped and we can see a little sun peeking through the clouds. So many people still without power.
We were so blessed to keep electricity during this storm! I just heard that over 900,000 meters were still without electricity today! The governor is buying generators to send to gas stations, grocery stores, and pharmacies. The central and northern parts of our state suffered so much because of all the rain. We were finally able to get out on our road today. We saw at least a dozen houses with water in them and we didn't drive all over just to my grandparents house. Baton Rouge was also hit really hard. If the LSU game was cancelled, you know it is BAD!









Here are a few pics of what we saw in our front yard. Water has never been so far up in our yard in the 12 years that I have lived here.







Our road is still covered in water.
