Gustav and our Amazing Governor

When we arrived back in New Orleans we were happy to discover that there was little property damage. It was mostly fallen limbs and trees. This caused massive power outages throughout the New Orleans Parish. We were able to hook up a generator to power the fridge to keep our food supply safe. We took all the boards off the windows and we all gathered together at Mark’s house for dinner as he had a gas stove and was still able to cook. Although, Gustav brought many inconveniences, we basically had everything we needed. We were well set. The storm left different places in different shapes, although the common thread is that most places saw little damage to property. The evacuations went very well. Almost 2 million people were evacuated from eastern and southern LA. The largest not only in the history of the state but also the largest in the history of the nation we were told by our AMAZING governor Bobby Jindal who spearheaded the evacuation plans. He negotiated with all the major oil companies to get us the gas we needed to power our generators and our cars to return from wherever we evacuated to. Late Wednesday afternoon, our power came back on and we heard our other two teamates are coming in this weekend.
