Another day...another manditory evacuation

Well, folks, we're at it again. Another perfectly good weekend ruined by a force of nature. I am currently blogging live from my BlackBerry on the road from Groves to Slidell, LA, doing my part to heed the 6:30 am manditory evacuation that was called just as I woke up this morning.

Did that ruin anyone else's day...or just mine?

I figured the gas lines at local stations would start to get real long real fast, so as soon as I found out about the call to leave, I went and got both Paige and my car filled up, packed, got the house secure and got her on her way out of town before 8 am.

And now I'm sitting in steady traffic, going through Lake Charles. It's a notch above stop and go, but I'm sure I'll make it to Slidell in no time.

If your on the road, already out of town or planning to ride the storm out, feel free to use this blog as a forum. If you have any questions or would like any updates on the storm, just ask. Or, if you want to just share your hurricane story as the storm progresses, feel free to post it as a comment.

We'll be periodically posting blogs and updating the web, so be sure to stay with www.panews.com for further Hurricane Ike updates. Remember, no matter where you roam, you're always home at panews.com.
