Getting ready for the storm

350 lbs in sand bags, 7 extra gallons of gasoline, all of the patio furniture inside, and enough snacks and food to last a month. I think we're ready!
Rocky and his owner, Steve, are staying here with us. They live in the 9th ward of New Orleans, where the hurricane is supposed to be making landfall. Peter and Steve were both here for hurricane Katrina, and I've been hearing stories about their experiences. Peter's car and Steve's home were flooded then.
Right now, we are just having bouts of wind and rain. Our dock has been covered by the rising water, but there is nothing else to report. More later on..
