~~Hurricane in Pictures~~

We are trying to get back to a sense of normalcy after 4 days of hurricane and subsequent aftermath. Here are some pics taken over the course of this week. Head over to Candid Carrie for more great pictures in the Friday Photo Finish Fiesta.

~Oscar is not amused with the heat, rain and wind of Hurricane Gustav~


~I started reading the 1st book in the Twilight series~

~Registering with The Weather Channel.com kept us updated of all warnings~

~Walmart meat area completely emptied after power outages~
~More empty Walmart shelves~
~Lots of trees down and flooding~
~Fans were a life-saver; we had 3 going at a time in the living room on generator power~
~Canned goods, YUM?, not~
~Small 13 inch TV kept us informed of weather alerts; only 1 channel~

~Small DVD player kept Trace occupied; he watched many movies this week~

  1. Thanks for sharing those pictures!! I'm amazed at the clear shelves in Wal Mart. I have NEVER seen anything like it but I can totally understand the need to get rid of bad food. But still...an odd sight to see!

    Glad normalcy is around the corner!

    Thank goodness for portable DVD players...with kids, they're lifesavers (especially on long trips).
    I'm glad you're safe!
