day 2 - Gustav, Hanna, Ike, & Josephine

08:39 everything looks so soggy and bleak.

15:33 Living in California, I never paid attention to hurricane season. It's amazing how the Atlantic spawns these guys!

A few notes from Baton Rouge:

* still raining pretty hard with thunder and lightning
* traffic starting to move on the streets
* no businesses open

I'm at LSU, enjoying electricity and internet access.

I did see one USPS truck trying to deliver mail!

20:21 Spots of blue sky fade to pink; everyone scurries home to make the curfew.
