Gustav part 2

I was in the middle of posting the following information while at the office on Monday. We stayed at the office for the storm and had a really good time. (The projector in the conference room made a really good theatre.)
While I was waiting for my pictures to upload our power went out and the back up generator kicked on. We decided to unplug our network server (giving me access to the Internet) so that the generator would not surge the system. So the information in blue was my post during the storm.

Well Gustav is upon us. However, we are not getting near the intense weather that LA is getting. It is very windy and there is a lot of rain. We are about 2 miles north of the gulf and staying in the industrial park at our office so we are not experiencing as much wind as if we were closer to the water. Other than a vent cap from one of our industrial AC's blowing off and Johnathon & Dad climbing on the roof to get it there have been no significant events to report on.

Hope you enjoy the pics.



All boarded up. We did not board up the front just the south side and where the big trees are.


Outside the office in the wind and rain.




After the storm was over Johnathon and I took a drive down to the beach hoping not to get caught and take some picture of the surge that was still high. The wind was pretty incredible.
Trying not to fall over.


Sometimes you just have a craving for waffle house. This sail boat is on the Highway. Below is another shot of it.




More like on the seawall.





This sail boat was on a random street.


Chilling on my parents front porch Monday evening enjoying a little bubbly left over from Marcie's wedding. Notice the tree past Johnathon it is now bent to the North. Most trees here look like that now.
