Isaac hanging around

This storm as you know if you've been following has been a slow moving storm. It made landfall at 6:45 pm last night. New Orleans and surrounding areas impacted long before that.

Our electric has been on and off all day. It just can't seem to decide if it wants to be on or off! Right now as of 4:00 pm there are 659,010 customers without power in Louisiana as of 4:20 central time and we're once again one of them.

The barometric pressure with this storm has made my back pain very intolerable. Nothing I've tried helps. I'll survive, but it makes an already uncomfortable situation worse. It's been raining and strong winds since around 7 this morning and not expected to chance any time soon. Overnight their saying. Most times the stimulator is helpful but I have it pretty high and not getting much relief from it today.

The generators running. Ready for the darkness. The minute D started it up memories came flooding back from 08 with Gustav. This is D and ours 4th hurricane to ride out together. Even with the generator running Dish and Cox is out, so we are listening to radio for updates right now. No Cox, no Internet either. We're so spoiled.

Had a few videos to post but blogger app only allows photos, not videos. Will have to wait for internet to be back.
