Gustav, be nice
H and I are contemplating it might be road trip time again, as Hurricane Gustav is forcasted to be heading to the central Gulf Coast.
I've never seen so much activity while a storm was this far out before. There were lines at gas stations in Chalmette 2 days ago and some buildings Uptown being boarded up yesterday. While I always keep an eye on storm threats, the early track projections heading straight towards us didn't worry me much, as one thing I don't recall any hurricane doing is continuing in a straight line for 6 days.
I'll be keeping an eye on the National Hurricane Center website, and the birds. The birds bugged out the Saturday before Katrina; if they go I'm not sticking around. Rumors have it that Da Mayor may issue an evacuation order way early and at lower hit possibility than Ivan etc.
Of course people here have their minds on the terrible scenes from this time 3 years ago
The horror... the horror...
