Just wanted to write an update on Gustav. The last update I just saw a few minutes ago (10:50) revealed that the storm is 4 miles per hour away (wind wise) from being a hurricane. It is now in between Hispaniola and us and the worst of it should hit later today and into the night (Thursday). They are projecting 20 plus inches of rain in some areas on the island with mudslides and flooding. Bud has secured the things in the driveway, got gas in the van and picked up a few things at the store. I've collected water. We've already lost a banana stalk last night. I think he tied up some others -- awnings are down, etc. ready for the wind. We are going to start bringing in the loose things from outside now.
The kids are excited:) It is a miracle that we finished school at 10:45 and now we are all getting ready. Please pray for the church people of which some are in very low lying areas where flooding could mean losing lives. I heard there were evacuations already taking place because of the projected amount of rain we are to receive.
All for now. I will try to write an update after the storm passes if we still have electricity.
