Safe and sound in Little Rock, we watched as Gustav hit landfall. Luckily, it did not take us too much extra time to get to Little Rock. The kids are having a blast at Nana and Papa's. From what we know so far, our neighborhood is okay. We have not had much rain on the Northshore so no threat of flooding. We did have high winds. There is a post on one of the forums from someone in our neighborhood (apparently he was one of those crazy people who rode it out). He stated from what he can tell, he did not see any trees on houses. We do know we have no power and that's what I'm concerned most about. Who knows when we will get power back. I don't really want to go back with the kids if it will be days before power returns. Another concern is the amount of traffic traveling back into the city. With the evacuation, people were staggered while leaving. Coming back, everyone will try to come back at the same time. We may go back tomorrow but we can't know for sure until morning. I will update more once we return and see the damage done.
