For hurricane Gustav my family and I packed up our belonging and our pets and headed to our house in Lake Charles. We were there for about a week and had all the amenities that we needed, ELECTRICITY! Everyone I talked with back home, who didn\'t evacuate, didn\'t have electricity. I was so grateful that we had a house to go to and be comfortable unlike most of the people from New Orleans. We were able to watch the news and see how New Orleans was making out during the storm. We didn\'t get much rain, just a lot of lightening and wind. Its always an experience traveling with my family and our 6 pugs to another location for a storm.
