Best of luck, Mike. Having been stationed at Keesler AFB in Biloxi, I know
what you are going through. God speed.

Subject: [meteorite-list] ATTN : Hurricane Gustav Evacuation


HI Listees!

I have boarded up and sandbagged the house in preparation for Hurricane
Gustav. I have a few meteorite-related packages that I have to ship off
still, and I am posting this notice to let my buyers know that their
packages are safe. I am taking the packages with me and I will be
mailing them from Florida, where we are evacuating to. I just don't have
the time and ability to ship them today - the town resembles an ant-hill
that has been kicked over. It's madness.

If anyone on this list is located in the Louisiana-Mississippi-East Texas
part of the Gulf of Mexico - GET OUT!

This is especially true for Terrebonne Parish Louisiana (my home) because
we have NO levees here - we are sitting ducks thanks to the incompetence
of our fearless leaders who embezzle all the public funds away for their
own private use. The projected storm track takes the storm as a Category
4 right up the mouth of Terrebonne Bay - if this holds true, my home
town of Houma will be inundated under 9-12 feet of storm surge - which
is not good since we sit below sea level.

I'd rather be on Asteroid 4 Vesta right now. ;)

Regards, clear skies, and godspeed,

MIkeG
