Hurricane Gustav:
I've got this horrible sense of deja vu all over again...
As with Katrina, not only is there the threat of immediate life and limb, but it's looking to bullseye the southern Mississippi River port facilities again not long before the grain harvest is set to start being shipped.
That raises it from just being a US issue, to one that could have knock on effects throughout the world.
Thankfully, my brother moved up to Washington state. (Katrina nailed the area in Mississippi where he was last time.).
Best of luck to all in the area, and don't take chances. Port facilities can be fixed, rivers dredged, buildings rebuilt, possessions replaced. It's the people that are hard to fix and can't be replaced.
