Here in Baton Rouge Gustav is (thankfully!) mostly a non-event so far. Like a windy thunderstorm. And, we still have power. The wind swath maps are not as dire as they were a few hours ago, and Gustav has been downgraded to a Category 2. Jay Grimes at WAFB says that Baton Rouge will not get as much wind and rain, or for as long, as earlier predictions.
Worst issue for us so far is the coffee maker overflowed this morning, and no coffee makes your humble blogger and The Boss a tad cranky. But the problem has been resolved, and we are well on our way to our normal, caffeine-driven selves.
Down in New Orleans, Mark O'Malley is finding the same anti-climax, except he has no power. He also expounds on the merits of an "Emergency Poontang Rescue Button." Does Staples know about those?
UPDATE: Lights started flickering. From past experience, it looks like we're going to be sans power in few minutes.
