We’ve been up drinking since about 7am. Other than that, we’re just kickin it, playing guitar. We just lost power here, but the storm hasn’t gotten too too bad yet. Branches are starting to break off of trees as the wind gets more intense. Our buddies at Klsu (http://www.Klsu.fm/) lost power, too, and are flooded in the basement.

There are tornadoes all around. We can hear them. They sound like airplanes going overhead or like a train going by. That’s about the only immediate threat to this parish, as we wait for the eye to get closer.

Shit’s consistently getting slammed into the house, but we boarded up the windows.
Tonight, we’ll probably cook some beans and rice.

Stay up fam!
