The last couple of days I have been freelancing with a major newspaper because of Hurricane Gustav. It’s nice to be doing that again especially with the prospect of extra moolah.
Although the TV weatherpeople of every ilk seems to think, or at least wish, Gustav will hit New Orleans, the latest National Hurricane Center forecast and discussion gives me some cause to pause about my own predicament here in good ol’ Beaumont, Texas. I will be staying but they have moved the hurricane warning over my way. Not good.
Now I got to see what is going on with Beaumont PD. I just saw two squad cars hauling ass down North Eleventh with sirens screaming as well as some kind of police SUV. The sheriff’s chopper appears to be in the air too. Too much excitement.
