YES! We got rain! It was enough to raise Lake Lanier by 2 FEET! And with all the rain Florida & Alabama got they don't need to try to "steal" our water for a long time! LOL!
Do you think you will be safe even in Arkansas from Gustav, Ernie.....that's going to be another Cat 5 storm! Be safe and MOVE to somewhere safer....stay away from tornado alley though! 
If Gustav hits anywhere in that area....lookout for HIGH-ER gas prices.....just when they started coming down......
Don't forget to pickup up Pepper in Texas on your way out of Louisiana!

: Thanks Matt! I am glad you got some rain.
: CJay did you get any rain? My two sisters
: have already called me to ask "What are
: you gonna do?" Same old routine. My
: first hurricane was in 1957 and many since
: so you would think we are used to these
: things by now, but two Category 5 storms in
: 2005 seems to make people act strangely now!
: The governor of Louisiana is already
: evacuating people! I will go to my
: Brother's camp in Arkansas with him, I am
: sure. That is if I have to. Thanks again
: Matt!

: Whoa! I just checked the Hurricane center
: online and there are five areas of tropical
: activity being watched. Gus is almost
: hurricane strength and one other is probably
: getting a name today; plus one that is
: hatching near the Yucatan Peninsula and
: these are giving me concern. Pepper you and
: I should pack our TOD disks and get ready to
: run. I am glad there was water in Fay so
: you states can stop fighting! Ernie...

: Now they are saying that Hurricane Gustav is
: heading YOUR way! RUN!
: Gustav is supposed to be more powerful than
: Fay was!
:
: At least we in Georgia finally got a little
: bit of drought relief from Fay with all the
: rain.....but still got a few tornados!
: Nothing like Florida though.
:
: Stay safe Ernie!

: there is a positive to all this. Its gonna
: boost the economy when everyone buys
: materials, but whos to say the economy needs
: help, the way gas prices are, I remember
: back when katrina hit, people were
: complaining they couldnt get out of the
: storms way because they couldnt afford gas.
: they knew in advance it was coming, but
: couldnt afford gas to leave town, and of
: course gas station owners know people are
: gonna try to leave. and what do they do?
: jack up the price to make a few bucks over
: somebodies life.

: I've been awol for the past week doing my
: driver instruction classes at Uni &
: working my new job and didnt realize a
: tropical storm was reaping havoc across
: Florida. I always get worried when I hear
: anything about twisters/hurricanes etc... as
: they can be so damn destructful. And because
: I have a lot of friends who I worry might
: get hurt. I just wanna 2nd what the good Doc
: said. Keep your heads down y'all and dont
: let Fay ruin your day. Lets be careful out
: there!

: I was so sorry to hear on the radio a while
: ago, that Florida has had 11 fatalities as
: the result of Fay. The flooding has damaged
: a lot of property as well. The latest
: fatality was an electrical worker responding
: to a power outage call. My thoughts and
: prayers are with Florida today. I care!
: Ernie...

: I knew cdlynn was really getting hit hard by
: Fay and then I couldn't remember what part
: of Florida Doc was from....
:
: poor cdlynn is getting schwacked! (if
: that's a word, perhaps snockered)
:
: I'm in the extreme NW part of the FL
: panhandle, right where Fay is expected to
: pass over on Saturday afternoon/evening.
: Fortunately, the winds should be less than
: 39 mph by then, but there will still be a
: good amount of rain. I'm hoping that the
: storm will speed up a bit and just fly thru
: here so we don't get any flooding!
:
: Everyone is so flippant about it, after Ivan
: and Dennis (not to mention prior
: hurricanes), but you just can't be too
: complacent. Fay may not be a hurricane, but
: she's sure doing a number over on the
: Atlantic coast of FL! Eternal vigilence.
: Learned that from Zeke. although he worded
: it differently...
:
: keep your heads down y'all!
