Thumbs down Here comes the big cat, GUSTAV!

Getting ready to ride it out here in Baton Rouge, La. Things tomorrow afternoon will be getting very interesting. I have all the basics, food, water, guns, ammo, cash. I will try to get some pics.

Over and out for now,

-Troy

Take care of yourself Troy. Maybe it is good that the C63 isn't here yet, huh?

I got my car today - already got the aftermarket NAV designed and the windows tinted. Pictures tomorrow...

Thanks, but Baton Rouge is inland not on the coast like New Orleans, Houma, ect. The "Highland Road" (my front door is level with the 4th floor of the state capital) area of Baton Rouge were I live , flooding is not the problem. Our biggest problem will be down power lines, trees, no electricity in general. My back up power system is good for a week - 10 days if need be.

We shall see.

Yeah, I went through hurricane Andrew in Dade/ Broward county Fl. It was No fun, you have a choice to get out or stick it out. One reason, as you may already know after a hurricane you have many power lines down which becomes extremely dangerous to get up and run after....so good luck!

This part reminds me of us being in LA during the riots. I remember the long lines buying ammo outside of LA county. Since then, I make it a point to stock up on ammo. Take care Troy. Hope to hear from you soon with pics.

It is a Cat 3 now and the path looks to the west of New Orleans. Its likely not going to be a complete disaster but things could change. Still going to pack a serious punch.

Good to see them actually preparing this time in the big easy. Last time was a absolute joke!

Check this out to get you in the New Orleans hurricane mood.

For you guys that don't know "Looter Guy" is the official Louisiana hurricane poster child for everything wrong with New Orleans starting back during Katrina.

Troy, You OK?

I see no posts since 9/1 which isn't typical for you...

Let us know you came out alright and let us know what the impact down there is really like.

Hey Troy ARE YOU OUT THERE???? I hope you didn't run out of Ammo and stay safe for dear God... Next time just buy a Tank and park it on your front lawn , should keep most people away in those parts of town.

Yes I made it. ALL the oaks in mi back yard (5) are down. My power just came back on. I have some pics and vids of storm I can post to You tube and the forum I guess. In short the city is F up big time. Lost the roof on one of my conds, and trees, trees ever were. My mother is still on generator and will be for another week. Twice a day I do generator duty to refill the 10kw generator. The good news is the city is getting it back together faster that expected. Sorry to keep it short, but I need a drink, a shower and some tv so I can get ready for IKE. BTW, I NEVER run out of ammo.

Thanks guys for the support, will get back soon.

Sounds good, Next... Round 2 Ike. Houston can you make it through, this could become like an Apollo 13 mission. Houston do you have enough power and fuel? I'd say, just go on vacation and get the hell out... Good Luck!!!
