Title: Where y'at?
Post by GURPS GM on Sep 1st, 2008 at 12:49am
Ok, my fam and I are out.  We left Sat night about 8pm and got to Bastrop, LA (about 20 minutes from Monroe) this morning around 4am.  I hope everyone else is doing the same and not deciding to stay.  Post up and let us all know what's going on with you.

I was going to stay in covington and then I watched the new last night.

I just arrived in atlanta.   I will consider when to return after we see what happens.

I am glad you moved feather north Dav, I texted you that night about covington not peachy.

Did you bring your sister with you?

We left at 8:00 Pm Saturday night (I guess the same time as Keven), we took the covington bridge and then went west through B.R. It was of and on bad for a while so we took the side roads to texas, and it was smooth sailing. We arived at about 8 am. Right now we are in frost texas, with a super shit air card connection. I am already bored.

Old people always have TV, so I guess I can waste some time watching the news. They have a computer, but it is connected through Dialup.

I heard about how hard the westbank is going to get it. At least you got your DnD books dav. haha

My sister and her crew already had gone to memphis.  I was just going to her house because it seemed a better idea than the west bank.

I've seen postings on the wwl site that some people stayed within a few blocks of my house.

my dad went to memphis.  mom went to MS.   I don't personally know anyone who stayed.

And I grabbed my 4.0 d&d and gurps.  I should have moved them up but my very good - mint condition 1.0 and 2.0 dnd are on the bottom shelf of a bookcase.  12 ft in algiers and they are trashed.

Left Kenner at 10:30am Sunday.  Arrived in Jackson, TN at about 2:30am.  My mother stayed in Kenner with her brother and an aunt of mine was supposed to come after the tow company she works for got the word from the police that they could close, but by then it was too late.  Haven't heard from my mother since I got in last night, but my aunt says she had electricity about 45 minutes ago but lost cable and is having problems with the cell phone.

I've been calling my house on the westbank but no answer so I assume my power is off.  I'm driving back friday so I won't know specifics until then.

My boss called though and I have to work tomorrow.  I can do that remotely so that's a cool thing.

Got home last night around 11pm.  All good except the alarms on the second floor of the wife's business (also where we live) were going off and I could not get them to turn off.  Now to be the wet towel...time to keep an eye on Ike.

My house is taking my calls now so I must have power.  I will drive back tomorrow.  Maybe I will make it to our weekly game.

We just got back this evening. Power came on this evening, and we showed up a few hours later. I think we have cable as well.

If anyone does not have power and wants to chill in the air conditioning they can drop on by for the night.
