Preparing for the Hurricane

Everyone puts tape on their windows so when the glass breaks it doesnt make a huge mess! We went and got everything we needed for a few days. We didnt think we would powerless for so long ! After 3 days we were out of ice for our coolers. We went to stay with Andys mom for a night . Then we were invited to Adis parents house. They live in Jennings which is about 2 hours west of us. Their power actually never went out. IT was SO nice to have a/c and lights.We are so spoiled ....You never realize what you take advantage of. I know we are much more fortunate then many other people out here.Our power was restored today , so we drove home this afternoon. Andys brother Kevin and his wifes family are still out of power. They do have generators but you have to put gas in those and that can get expensive. Plus the gas stations are out of control.There are lines miles long. Only some grocery stores are open and some will only let a few people in at a time and you have to use cash ! It is crazy !
