Hurricane Ivan a "dud" in New Orleans

We have survived Hurricane Ivan! The news isn't so good for our friends in Gulf Shores, Alabama, though.

We had lots of powerful winds yesterday and last night, but we didn't get more than a few drops of rain, if that. God was on our side this time.

People are just on their way back in town from evacuating to other cities. I'm sure the traffic is going to be pretty bad, considering all the people that left. We had made our decision not to evacuate early on and luckily it paid off for us this time.

I have posted pictures on my website that I went out and shot yesterday on the levee of Lake Pontchartrain, which is located a half a block away from our house. You can view them here.

Thank God again that we were spared of getting hit by this monstrous storm.
