Using Web 2.0 technology to provide updates on Hurricane Gustav
(Lastest computer tracking models as of 10:23 p.m. Friday.)
For those of you interested in following, I am providing updates via my Utterz and accounts. I rarely use them for anything else and they seem well-suited for such. Let me invite you to subscribe to the RSS feeds. Hopefully, I'll provide both regular and up-close (but not too up-close) and personal accounts.
Please keep all those in the projected path of the storm in your thoughts and prayers. It's especially poignant when you consider that today, August 29, is the three-year anniversary of Katrina. No one here is taking Gustav as anything other than seriously as a result.
When Katrina struck in 2005, I committed my then Radiant Marketing Group blog to doing nothing but posting about the storm and its after-effects for some two weeks. It proved to be a cathartic experience for me and helpful to others as well. While I hope and pray there will be little need for catharsis, I'm glad the tools of social media enable communications in a timely and personal fashion.
PS: Please remember my brother, Lt. Colonel Alex Chaney. His National Guard unit was deployed to the Mississippi gulf coast in advance of the storm and he is in command of some portion of the operations there.
He's also my hero and I admire his willingness to serve. Regardless of what might be said of the government's ineptness in managing such things, I know one of its representatives who will do his dead-level best to ensure the health and well-being of those affected by the hurricane. "Hooah" little brother!
