I have one of two choices.

The path of gustav has not changed in 3 days. It is still predicted to be a direct hit. First as a Cat 3, now as a Cat 2. Mandatory evaucations start on saturday. Contraflow begins that morning. I have reservations in Jackson, Miss for monday and tuesday. It can still change paths, but i dont want anyone else affected by this.

But, do i want to go? NO. I'm thinking i am going to stay. I stocked up on supplies today and will finish tomorrow. I got the generator up and ready.

Will there be a surge, more than what we have left of the levees to hold? I dont know. Only the govt and corps of engineers knows. And no, that information will not be passed on. At least not to us. But we do assume.

If i stay, i may end up going down with my roots.

My mind is confused now. I not only have this to deal with, but other things.

I dont know why im writing this here. I just have to get it out. I have so many feeling and emotions running through me. And they continue to battle each other.

Thank you for listening
