All my cousins are off the oil platforms and with their families headed north. Max and I were in TN with my folks this week, and apparently they're getting unexpected house guests tonight. My friend in Mobile asked for another care package of Goose Island beer to be sent, which is what he asked for after Katrina and Rita, so he's feeling fairly confident (they're on high ground, such as it is for Mobile).
And just so you know, insurance coverage for wind damage won't be available for anyone at any price in the Gulf from Texas to Florida in about 5 hours from this post. That's when Gustav will be "in the box".
Good luck everyone. There's no reason to stay out of the shelters on this one if you can't hit the road.
