Day 1 AG (After Gustav) Update

Drove around today with Brandon. Ivars and Zippies are opened. Jefferson Hwy by Wholefoods is pretty bad, major trees down. I have heard that serops and a couple of places downtown are also open. Went to ivars today.  It was pretty hot but they had cold beer.  The line to Zippies was ridiculous, probally at least an hour. Curfew is in effect tonight. Some areas of Baton Rouge have power especially around the Tigerland area but everyone else is in the dark. I might jet to the beach if it looks like we will be without power for weeks. Cell phone network got worse today and the ran caused minor flooding.
