Surviving the hurricane

[Sherryg683]

Gustov hit pretty hard here in Baton Rouge, it is considered the worst hurricane to hit the Baton Rouge area, we had wind gusts of 100 mph, stronger than hurricane Betsy. Most of the city is still witout electricity and it may be a week or longer, some out lying areas may be 4 to 6 weeks they are saying. We have a generator so have basic electricity and it runs a small window air unit in our bedroom, it is HOT down here also. Our subdivision was hit the hardest in Baton Rouge, it was on the news. We have a lot of old oak trees in our neighboorhood and a lot of them fell on houses and blocking roads and on electrical lines. Personally, we had the siding ripped off the side of our house, roof damage and we had a huge palm tree fall in our swimming pool, which is the bummer because swimming is my stress reliever,,,.lol..it could be much worse. There are very few businesses open and those that are, have lines that are hours long, gas is scarse and the city is under an 8 o'clock curfew.It should get better in the upcoming days, if that other storm Ivan doesn't hit us...just wanted to keep you all posted. ...sherryg683
