I came across this last night. A 5 day projection for Hurricane Gustav. I am sending thoughts and prayers to everyone that has or may be impacted by the hurricane. I watched the news yesterday and I was really surprised and amazed that despite the outcome of Hurricane Katrina, there are still people that choose to stay in their homes after an evacuation notice.

Really amazing.

I have never been in a situation where I had to evacuate my home (thankfully), but unlike some in Louisiana, I think I would not stick around in my home to wait and see if the water will stay under 9 feet with my house reaching 10 feet. I would have the same thought whether or not I have children.

Even Department of Homeland Security, Secretary Michael Chertoff openly admitted that the levees are stronger than they were in 2005 but not 100%. That would be enough proof for me folks.
