Hurricane Travel
First Great Job by Charlie and Bucky in the Shoot Out. This storm should have been named Charlie cause it looks like the baddest ever. I am leaving in a few minutes hopefully going north on I55 and going East on US98 or US84 over to Hattiesburg or Laurel Miss. If anyone know of a safe place to park a 41' conversion for a few days only (I hope). The storm seems to center on Houma, LA with predicted surge of 18 to 25'. I have myself and my wife and my mother in law (age 92) with me as well as a couple of dogs. I have never run from a hurricane in my 64 years, but this one looks bad. My cell phone is 985-804-6161. Anyone coming South, I 49, I 55, I 59 and all flowing north only (contraflow) for today until the storm passes.

Re: Hurricane Travel
Good Luck Jeff. I hope the fine folks in Houma coma out OK with this storm.
The trip back from Indy was a killer, with only two blow-outs. It took us 20+ hours to make it home. Would you believe no one had a 235x80r 16 trailed tire. After stopping at numerous tire stores in Indiana, Ky, Tn, AL and Ms, no one had a tire. We did buy a used tire in northern Alabama for $30.00 and drove 50 mph to get home. The car and trailer are parked in Covington with no trees around. I will be leaving for work into the New Orleans area and I'm told to expect to stay for quite sometime. During Katrina I stayed away from home for 15 days straight. Take Care

Re: Hurricane Travel
Jeff, I don't know where you're headed but you are more than welcome here in KY. I have a place for your motorhome and we could tour the neighboring distilleries. Stay safe and let me know if I can be of any help.

Re: Hurricane Travel
The rain is now starting to fall in Gonzales, LA (across the river from No Problem Raceway). I guess Gustav is knocking on our door step. Hopefully this thing keeps it's relatively fast pace and won't stay around for long. I have to ride this one out at work but, managed to send the wife and kids off to Arkansas yesterday; thank God. Seems as though this will be a bad storm. Other than being inconvienenced, I hope everyone ends up OK. Take care everyone.
