Flashback: Gustav

I shot this video during the passing of  Hurricane Gustav’s eye here in Central Louisiana.

The stores have been busy around here because of  “Hurricane” Isaac, bread was wiped out at the Dollar General, so was milk.  The milk man was there restocking though.  I was there later and it seemed there was a good bit of milk left.  Gas is out in many places.   I hope people aren’t over reacting to seeing maybe charities and churches stocking up in case we get evacuees and such.  Anyhoo…flashback…
