I don't know exactly where hurricane Gustav ended up landing, but it was set to make a bull's eye on Lee's home town. Lee works in emergency operations, and stayed behind with the rest of the emergency personnel. It's very possible that the first floor (if not the second floor) of Lee's home was flooded.
It may be weeks or months before we hear anything from him. Don't worry though, silence is not entirely bad news - he knows how to take care of himself. After Katrina hit, he lived at work for a few weeks, followed by weeks of 12 hour days. Luckily, Gustav was not as bad as Katrina, but it could have been a lot better...
Not to mention that Ike did some damage to Louisiana. Granted, not as much as what happened to Galveston and Houston (I have friends and family in Houston -- they're ok, but my dad still does not have power and does not know when it will come back). I don't know the extent of damage to Louisiana from Ike, but they were on the 'dirty' side, so it may still be bad.
Please consider everything related to author duties on indefinite hiatus.
I'll let you know more once I've heard from Lee...
