Hurricane Gustav On The Road Update 9

We are in the eye of the hurricane. An over 100 mph gust came along and blew out two of our windows and we took shelter on the lee side of a nearby building. When the windows blew out, some of our stuff in the back went with it. We’ll have to see if we can recover it later.
