Gustav
As coolbeans56 pointed out in his blog, Hurricane Gustav may be headed for New Orleans just as the GOP convention opens in Minneapolis. While Gustav is currently only at tropical storm strength after hitting Haiti, the latest five day forecast has it zeroing in just west of New Orleans as a Category 3 hurricane. When Katrina hit, the center was east of the city. Katrina's worst winds were on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Should this continue as forecast and possibly bump up to a Cat 4 or 5 storm, we could be looking at Katrina 2. Or even worse.
