Gustav is in the house

Okay, not literally, thank God. But wow, I cannot imagine being where the storm first makes landfall. He is dropping all sorts of interesting rain today. You can tell there is still bands intact. I saw sideways rain while taking the kids to school this am!! The creek behind our house is RUNNIN'! Mike works outside so was glued to the radar all afternoon and night. He kept saying the whole state of Missouri is green, but there's nothing happening outside in Ballwin. Well, hon, Gustav is in the house now!
