1. Doesn't the New Orleans area only have about half of the pre-Katrina population? Maybe that will make evacuations run more smoothly this time.
  2. from the usace

  3. I dunno, still isn't comforting. Just got in from Sears, proud new owner of Craftsman 5600 watt generator and 10,000 btu window A/C. I think I got the last one in Baton Rouge, had to contend with a small riot at 10 am this morning tryin to get in there. Home Depot in Denham Springs says they're gettin a truck in this evening, that oughtta be a chinese fire drill. Of course now that I'm prepared it's gonna go elsewhere....
  4. We appreciate it and I got your back. I bought a generator in the post Rita sale and it still in the box out in the garage with a all-weather 150 foot heavy duty extension cord, 20 gallons of gas in cans, and 2 quarts of oil. It has diverted hurricanes for three years now . . .
  5. Red, I hope you've cranked that baby up since you bought it, if not, you might want to make sure it starts! Nothing worse than trying to get a generator running after the power goes off!
  6. Keep up the good mojo, then, Red.
  7. true. been there, done that.

    i agree. and testing the generator and making sure everything is in top order will only strengthen that mojo. :thumb:
  8. The good new is that my old upright freezer wil get defrosted.
  9. got some venison you looking to unload?
  10. That's all gone but God knows what I'll find under the ice.
