There were 10 of us riding it out in the church and the church WHICH WE WERE IN, suffered 1.2 Million Dollars worth of damage. Because of that, people here are now easily panicked and understandably so, if you were here.
We have 4 Wal-Mart Supercenters here and they are all completely sold out of water, batteries and flashlites already. There is a huge run on Gas right now. I waited this evening for 20 minutes in a line to fill up. There were people filling up numerous gas cans and even 55 Gallon Drums. Everyone is buying everything up in order to be better prepared, should Gustave find his way to our doorstep.
I am praying that it stays away, however I know he must go somewhere. I pray for people's lives and homes. It would be unbelievable to have a repeat of Katrina. Lord, please spare us!!!
