Gustav Preparedness thread...

[JWarren]

haha, Bogie.

I need to try that.

Oddly enough, I went to check on my FIL a few hours ago. He's without power atm.

I went 3/4 across Washington Parish with a 1911 on my hip and an AR in the back of the Jeep. I saw 4 or 5 LEO units and spoke to one deputy-- all this AFTER the mandatory curfew.

Somehow, I neither had my guns confiscated nor was I taken to Angola.

Good luck you guys in it's path.

May God watch over you.

Well, JW, you're not in New Orleans... That means you're probably at least equal in intelligence with the folks in Florida, who seem to ride these puppies out with pretty fair regularity...

Suggestion: Try about a half-pint of mad-dog before you go talk to the FEMA folks... Dump that IQ a little, and twitch if it gets a little breezy...

And keep a watch toward the city limits...

I hope Gustav worked out OK, he missed us, although it wasn't clear that he would until Monday...

Anyway, we have more lining up... WAY early to tell, but so far virtually every storm has tried to hit Texas or LA or a combo of the two.

3 cases Ramen noodles mmmmmmmm

Looks like you have plenty of water to go with that unlike the lady in my neighborhood who bought a couple of cases of that for herself and daughter but forgot to get water.

Only liquid she had was soda as without power, there was no water.

Wonder what it tasted like?

NO

With all respect gentlemen,there are people down here that are and will stay traumitized for a long time to come.Please keep in mind there will be many families without homes for a while.It is easy to think of the scenerio from a cool little computer,fantasizing about SHTF situations.May I suggest something,learn how to point shoot behind a flashlight,because it gets mighty dark after a storm.
