Hurricane Gustav

August 28, 2008

Here we go again and can fate play some interesting tricks on us or what? Do you rememebr Katrina? New Orleans sure does. Gustav will enter the Gulf shortly and God only knows where it will make land; however, many of the computer models has it coming ashore close to New Orleans or with a dead aim at that sity under sea level. Hey, who lives in a city BELOW sea level?

One thing is for sure and that is that even though New Orleans has the same mayor, Louisiana has a new Governor (Bobby Jindal) and he’s not going to make the mistakes of the past gov! It’s a good think he turned John McCain down for the VP slot. He could be very busy next week when the Republican Convention kicks off.

Three years after Hurricane Katrina slammed into the Louisiana coast, New Orleans residents on Wednesday again confronted the prospect of an evacuation as Tropical Storm Gustav loomed, which was once a hurricane before it slammed into the mountains of haiti, but watch that sucker grow again. A level 3 or 4 seems possible considering the environment in the Gulf.

And hello Houston! Remember Rita? Gustav is a potential for the Space City as well.

Not since Katrina struck on August 29, 2005, have residents faced a forced departure from their homes and businesses as many still struggle to rebuild their lives in a city famed for its jazz clubs and Mardi Gras festival. Storm levees broke under the onslaught of Katrina, flooding 80 percent of New Orleans and killing almost 1,500 people in the city and along the Gulf of Mexico coast. The hurricane caused $125 billion in wind and flood damage.

This dude is worth keeping your eyes on as it could come ashore anywhere from Brownsville to Destin Florida.
