Here Comes Gustav

[palmage]

Hope this one tracks south!!!

Great if it takes the current path and tracks over Cuba and spends that much time over land. Bad if it veers more to the west and hits the open waters of the Gulf. This could be interesting heading into the weekend.

I saw this this morning. I hope it stays south too for Florida in general. We arrive on Friday too so I double hope it stays away!

I am leaving on Friday 29th, is it going to be really bad when we get there?

Looks like the northwest gulfcoast may be in deep doo doo with this one.
Hope New Orleans doesn't get hit.

I don't think this storm is going to visit Florida but that might just be me :shrug: I'm more concerned about the other systems in the tropical Atlantic right now. Here's to hoping they don't cause any issues.

anyone heard anymore about this? we leave thurs 29th to come down, and come home the 2nd.

If you want to check up on it, the NHC's website is www.nhc.noaa.gov I wouldn't worry about Gustav; it'll take a bizarre twist of systems and fronts to push it into Florida at this point. Keep an eye on it though since these storms can tricky like that.

In the meantime, have fun getting ready for your trip:wave:

This is one of the worst things to happen. Being 3 years on Friday since Katrina, the Ms Gulf Coast is so not ready for this mentally or structurally. Our barrier islands are going to be wiped away and they're saying 40 feet of storm surge into the cities because our coast is still so eroded from Katrina. I have reservations in Orange Beach, AL for the Labor Day weekend and cannot decide to stay or go. Of course, stupid me did not take out the insurance for weather so I lose my money either way staying or going.

might as well go since there isn't going to be any good reason to be here.
