Morning of Gustav's Arrival !!



We reported to District 5 Fire Station for emergency duty. This is the view from our windshield as we were riding down the streets to calls. Most of you know we have an F250 pickup - James' baby. The truck weighs close to 8000 lbs.....no match for Gustav we were still rock and rolling in it. You can actually see a tree snap into the road in front of us. Needless to say we parked after that and battoned down the hatches to ride out the storm and be ready to respond when we were cleared to hit the roads again!!
