Gustav Update

“Hurricane Gustav slowed to Category 3 status with top winds near 125 mph early Sunday but forecasters expected it to regain strength later in the day. The National Hurricane Center upgraded a watch to a hurricane warning for over 500 miles of Gulf coast from Cameron, La., near the Texas border to the Alabama-Florida state line, meaning hurricane conditions are expected there within 24 hours.”

I’m heading out for the day but will check back on Gustav’s progress when I return.

Look out NO, Gustav is on his way!

This is so eerie, 3 years almost to the day.  This hurricane is more powerful than Katrina, I hope the residents of New Orleans get out while they can.  In the words of your mayor, Ray Nagin:

“You need to be scared,” Nagin said. “You need to be concerned, and you need to get your butts moving out of New Orleans right now. This is the storm of the century.”
