We have been busy clearing up[ loose debris in the yard, fastening down blow able items, boarding windows etc. The race cars are covered and the tarps bungied down.

The stores in the area have mostly closed as people have started to bail out. Gas is in very short supply and folks are having to go to several stations before they find any. We all filled up late last week knowing this would happen.

We have laid in our supplies of drinking water, candles, batteries, working portable radios, flashlights, extra coffee supplies, canned goods, butane stoves, charcoal grilles, and filled butane bottles.

Many of the parishes in New Orleans area have issued mandatory evacuation notices.

We will continue to keep you posted as long as we can.
