This is a participation post – comment away – GO AHEAD – COMMENT!!! Cheers to Direct TV for carrying WDSU during the evacuation. Jeers to all the local stations for barely covering St. Tammany. Cheers to the media for decent coverage. Jeers to the media for obviously being disappointed Gustav wasn’t worse & for hanging …
h/t Matt Raley on the NOLA.com forums for this great link for Propane and Natural Gas Conversion kits for generators.
Safe for work – this one never gets old!
As most of you know (splashed on the freaking front page of the T-P – thanks Cindy Chang), I am not working for NOLA.com at the moment. $200 a month was nice, but I think I can make up for that with ads on this blog (there are a couple coming – and the crowd …
No, Gustav did not stop the recall efforts of Mandeville Mayor Eddie Price. We will be at the Lakefront Gazebo from 12:00-4:00 on Sunday. I’ll be there from 12-2 – hope to see you. Remember, you can sign and/or pick up a packet to go door to door in your neighborhood.
Must…look away…from the weather – UGH!!! House cleaned, car cleaned, stuff unpacked, pictures back on wall, yard cleaned up, lawn furniture out of garage, hubby and kids home for a solid week (need I say more). People are still returning, areas are still without power, grocery stores are getting stocked up, I bought ice in …
Sarah Palin has “Barracuda aka Sarahcuda.” Spongebob has a song (I know all the words). Elaine from Seinfeld had “Witchy Woman.” Now I want one!!! I want to create some type of Gretamania and need a damn song! Help!!! So…what is your song?
Not here to debate Presidential candidates with you. But I have to tell you, I was blown away with Sarah Palin at the RNC the other night. Then I had my Sarah Palin moment, when I thought to myself, “Damn Greta, you are 40 yo mom with 3 kids who stayed home for 12 years …
No house damage, the pets are only slightly traumatized and everything is canceled for a week – just a life interrupted with some minor inconveniences. My biggest concern, is that if there is another storm coming, people won’t leave. Evacuating is an expensive proposition! We had a wonderful time during our evacuation. I know that …
***My neighbor has a stump grinding business, call him quick as he is going to get very busy . Kevin Dean (985)966-8416 and he can also put you in touch with tree cutters as well.. ***The French Market is open, the grocery stores in Mandeville & the pharmacies. ***So sorry to report that several houses …
Heading outside to do massive yard cleaning. Enough seems to be open to get by. Bring supplies if you are returning. Rouse’s, Walgreens and some gas stations open. We have power!!!! Yay!!!! The ride down 51-27-25 to 190 was painless!!! http://fema.gov Call your insurance company and get in the queue for repairs if you need …
St Tammany Parish is open for return 6 AM Wednesday. As of now, my home is still without power. Hubby cut the downed tree off our house. We are still South of Jackson and getting tornado warnings and heavy rain from Gustav. Posting from my iPhone so I’ll keep this brief. Be safe everyone.
Sad to report that many of my neighbors’ homes have been hit by trees. Our home was spared once again. If anyone in Lakewood Heights is reading this and needs him to check on your home, please e-mail me. gretaperry@gmail.com Me and the rugmonsters are still in Crystal Springs, MS under tornado warnings. We hope …
We called our home phone and the answering machine picked up – so we have power. We were just glad that AC Copper didn’t pick up and answer bwahahaha. Our neighbor texted me that we only had some branches down so far and 30-40 mph gusts. We are waiting to see if any tornadoes go …
Go figure. I drive 4 plus hours to evacuate to Crystal Springs, MO and we are in the dark already. Grrrrr
