Baton Rouge is Dark Tonight

Thankfully we and our house are doing just fine. Apparently the entire Baton Rouge area is out of power, so I’m glad I don’t work for Entergy!

Gustav blew down lots of trees, but our little live oak out front made out ok – unlike our neighbors’, which is stuck at a 45 degrees angle.

We actually ventured out of the house earlier, driving to my parents’ and seeing dozens of downed trees along the way. Luckily none made the road impassable. I’d have some pictures for you, but I was driving.

I think we’ll be heading to bed early tonight, given that my iPhone only has so much juice, our daughtervis already down for the count, and there’s only so much you can do by candlelight.

Thanks for all if your prayers – they were certainly felt. Please continue to pray for our neighbors; we have already heard of several people whose homes were severely damaged.
