Hurricane Gustav proved to be more to Baton Rouge than any other before on record. While the true impact was not felt until long after Gustav left. I now reside in the East Baton Rouge Parish. For those of you not from Louisiana that is similar to a county or township. We experienced a 100% blackout for the parish. There are parts in the parish and elsewhere in the state that are estimated to have power out for 2-3 more weeks. Upon hearing the news I packed a bag and headed north. After an 18 hour drive I will be staying in Newmanstown, PA for the next few weeks while everything gets back to normal. I will also be staying in the area for my mom’s 50th birthday party. Everything seems to work out just right.
