Hello loyal readers. Here is the update:

We are all working today to pack up life at the office in preparation for an evacuation likely Sunday. The current plan is to take all media and financial computers out with information backed up on external hard drives. Staff has been split into a few different groups and several will begin calling our neighbors and church members today to determine if they have plans to evacuate and a way out of the city. If the storm is headed east, we'll likely be headed to Jackson, Mississippi or Hot Springs Village, Arkansas. If it heads west, it will be Birmingham, Alabama.

It is a blessing to know that there have been lessons learned with Katrina and plans seem to be flowing smoothly. I'll keep updates posted here as decisions become more solid and as we see just where Gustav is headed.
