Grandma's Pearls

Missed it by that much!

Right now, hurricane gustav is aiming for Louisiana coast. I'm in Jackson, Ms. and we are going to miss this one. We will still get some of the wind and rain because we are on the east side but not nearly as bad as everyone here is expecting. I went to Walmart the other day and they had no more bottled water in the gallon jugs and no canned meat and practically no bread either. It is amazing how easily people panic since Hurricane Katrina went through here 3 years ago. I was among the people without lights. I have a gas stove, so cooking was still an option. We were miserable because it was so hot and with no power, there was no relief. We survived for over 3 weeks and it really sucked royally, but not nearly as bad as the people in New Orleans had it. If I lived there, I would leave too. More tomorrow...
