Welcoming Gustav

Shannon's mother lives in New Orleans and decided against staying there (remember Katrina), and she came up to hunker down with us.

Unfortunately, There are many Large and unstable trees around our house and judging from the path of Gustav, we decided to find a hotel to stay in.

Shannon diligently called around, and found the last available room up the road where we live.

The night before Gustav was expected to make landfall, I stayed at the house with Mia, whild Shannon, Sylvie, and Sharon nested at the hotel



I got this shot at about 9am as I was driving to Hotel.
