re: New to Louisiana, my very first hurricane.

First bit of advice. By July first have at least 100 gallons of gasoline in your shed. Chances are you will end up using it in your mower and dumping the rest in your vehicle. But the off chance you need it for a storm you aren't joining the rest of the state that doesn't plan for shite and it happens every time. Gasoline hysteria like no one knew there was a hurricane on the way.
