Whew... That was close!

Like millions of other coastal-Louisiana residents, we evacuated New Orleans ahead of Hurricane Gustav... The mass exodus was truly a sight to behold!

My family & I came to Pensacola to watch (& hold our breath!). This morning when I got up, I went right to my computer & started pulling up every weather & news website I could find.

As the morning wore on, I felt a tremendous sense of relief as I watched the storm pass by New Orleans with no catastrophic effect. Gustav's bark has--so far--been much worse than his bite...

Thank you, Jesus!

Finally, at 3:30 in the afternoon, I feel like I can let go of my held breath: Whew... That was close!
