We're starting to get the big rain and wind gusts here now and we're under a tornado watch til 7pm. Reminder to everyone: please make sure that everyone knows the safe room for a tornado in your house (the most interior room in your house). I told my 4 DS we're under a tornado watch and said, where do we go and they all said your closet, which is the correct answer. I'm scared of tornadoes and we do tornado drills a few times a year, so they are well trained

It is such a nice sunny day here in north Louisiana. The sky is blue, and there is a gentle breeze through the leaves on the trees.

I am praying for my friends in south Louisiana who are in the path of this storm. I am also praying for those along the Florida coast, Georgia coast, Mississippi coast, and Alabama coast.

Be careful, Daisy7. I hate tornados also. It is much worse when it is dark and you cannot see what is coming. It's about time Isaac left Florida alone!

I think we're ready to go here too. Now just waiting. Finished my nervous cleaning a little while ago and about to make a pot of coffee and wash some of our sheets while waiting.

LOL Nervous cleaning. I did that Sunday and last night, and I'm washing a last load of sheets right now. Gotta have the house spic and span when it blows away, right??

Isaac is finally a hurricane. Just announced on TV.

Tuesday, 11:30 AM in Lafayette, LA. Sun is shining, cool breeze is blowing, all the neighborhood folks are in their yards tying things down.

I'm prepping at home with all my kids. We expect to see some weather within a couple hours. Just hope the power and water hold!
