Live with Hurricane Gustav

I just moved to Baton Rouge, LA and am about to experience my first ever hurricane. Watch this page over the next 24 hours, because as long as my Internet and/or text messaging works, I will use advanced Twitter technology to provide updates that should give readers an outsider's perspective on nature's stupidest thing that it does.

• If the embedded Twitter feed below stops working, or if you want to read more than just the last 20 updates, you can find everything here.
• This is the latest weather radar map with a stupid little crosshair over my place.
• If I'm dead by the time you read this you are now cursed and should consult a crystal immediately.
