On our way home from Kentucky on Sunday night we passed a huge convoy of tree-trimmers. There must have been over 2 dozen of them, all heading south towards Gustav. We were pretty impressed to see such a showing!
Gustav started affecting Vicksburg Monday morning, with constant rain, and tornado and flash-flood warnings. We lost some tree limbs and our neighbor's pond is fuller than we've even seen it, but other than that we didn't think there was anything exciting going on at our house. We saw some trees down on the way to work this morning though, and when we got home this afternoon, we found a big tree down at our neighbor's house (the same house with the pond). It managed to take down 4 other small trees in it's path! We went over to the neighbor's house to offer our assistance (well, mostly Jay's assistance, since it's his chainsaw) and found out that it went down at 2:30am last night (she was up feeding her newborn baby girl, so she noted the loud boom) - we must have missed it this morning when it was still sort-of dark on the way to the office...
