Any one in Gulf Coast perparing for Gustav?

Question

I live on the MS gulf coast and was just checking to see what other people are planning for Gustav. I will be staying here...We stayed for Katrina and made it through ok, we dont live near water so we just have to brace ourselves for the wind and rain! Anyone else staying home? What about those leaving? where are you going and how far from your homes are you goin??

Answer 1

You mean Katrina didn't answer such questions? Why ask NOW?

Answer 2

we are definitely leaving. i live in beaumont, and you never know whats going to happen. we are going to dallas....

Answer 3

Oh, yes.  I stayed through all the storms; I always do.  I'm a little east of you, so Ivan hit us worse than Katrina did; it pulled the roof right off the house, while we were inside.  When the eye of the storm hit, we went to the neighbors' house.  Now Gustav just turned to a Category 4, and Hanna is right behind it.  Good luck!
