Estimates are, that my house will be getting power back, from Gustav,about the time IKE is scheduled to roll in. Could be a rough season! All i know is without our coastal wetlands, to absorb storm's energy, even the midgrade storms are doing unprecedented damage. Good thing it's not up to me,because i'd shut off the oil& nat. gas spigot, until we got some major wetland restoration projects going. Forgive my ranting, it's been a stressful & uncomfortable week. i wouldn't wish it on anyone,and i can't wait for November to get here.
