Worried about Gustav? Here are some links of interest - Take Care!
I'll be continuously updating these links - bookmark it to return later. Be careful and we're wishing you well - so worried for you all! We are NOT encouraging the people staying in LA against the evacuation orders by posting them here, we ENCOURAGE them to leave and fear for their safety. Please reconsider your decision. We don't need another Harry Truman!
