I think I heard on the 11:00 update from the Hurricane Center that
Gustav could hit just west of New Orleans as a Category 3.
(Katrina hit just east of New Orleans as a Category 3 back in 2005).
Gustav is a little smaller across than Katrina so less area will be
effected by hurricane strength winds and storm surge than last time.
There will still be lots of rain and perhaps floods.

I hope that the people up and down the coast of Louisiana
are in good shape tonight.
God save us.
