I got my gas for car & generator, food, water, medicine, extra money, radio, bateries, bubble gum(to plug any small water leaks), cut the grass around my house, also cleaned up yard(wouldn't want the yard to look bad when Ivan got here) , and other necessary hurricane items. Also rechecked my umberalla & floties for holes (although I done this a few weeks ago). Added 12 volt pig tail & 12 volt house type bulbs(With 12 volt pigtail I can run the 12 volt bulbs off automotive battery for a few lights- if generator goes on the fritz). I DO plan to STAY HOME and ride it out at my house.
Actually Ivan unless it takes a last minute turn directly in my direction. Is forcast to only send us here in Southwest Louisiana tropical storm winds and A LOT of rain. It should all be over by late saturday evening. I will probally lose electricty & home telephone for a few days. SO I will most likely be off the air till the telephone lines are back up & working. I need these for my computer. I will probally still have my cell service but I am not sure about this. I will wait and see and learn about cell service for next time a storm comes.
My only conern is if a tornado is created by the hurricane at my house. However I am not especially concerned about the hurricane. This is just a part if living here in Southwest Louisiana.
Which is not much different from where others live. EVERYBODY has something to worry about & deal with where thay live. Wheather it's floods, earthquakes, mud slides, possiballity every year of many tornados, heat, and the list goes on & on. At least with a hurricane I will know its coming and can prepare for it.
I WILL BE BACK AFTER HURRICANE IVAN PASSES. I will post on Strike point when I am back on the air.
SEE YOU ALL THEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dan from Louisian
