NOT IN THE PATH. At least, not yet. =] Could get a piece of Gustav come Tuesday or Wednesday, but we're far enough inland.

Not so for those on the Gulf Coast, wondering ... waiting ... their lives on hold.

Poem Artwork

Nerves so brittle they
could snap j u s t like that,
wondering ... waiting ...
watching the weather
reports to see the
latest forecast track.

Is he eyeballing
us, wanting to make
our property his,
or will he miss?  We're
prepared for the worst,
hoping for the best ...

(c) 2008, Karla Dorman (8/30)

wow. I never thought about it, but it must be so: The waiting ought to be almost worse than if it hits.
Take care!!

The jaws of that beast-- huge-- teeth, right out of "Where the Wild things Are"... Rolling his terrible eyes, showing his terrible claws... look him straight in the eye and yell, "BE STILL", Max. --Charlie

Watched a video on the path of Gustav. Those from the Gulf are vacating and moving out. Saw some horrible phottos of the destruction it di in Puerto Rica and others. It has a full force now of a 5 category. I'd leave too, if it was headed my way. So many waiting on trains, buses and the roads are swamped with cars. The people that stay are very very brave I must say.

The comparison makes the hurricane come alive with a monster feeling.

Would hate to be on the Gulf Coast about now. Bad enough wondering if we'll get any action from Gustav, in the way of severe; worse for those along the G.C. who are already shell shocked from Katrina and Rita three years ago; area still not recovered. What next?? Excellent write of nervous tension; brava! Love the piccy; scary; looks like it has an eye! WOW!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :(
