Get the hell out of there, Gustav just went category 4! Still has to cross the Gulf with all that warm water. Cat 5 by US landfall is not out of the question! Evac now!

 

My thoughts are with everyone in the path of this monster. Usually hurricanes can't sustain themselves at a cat 4 or 5 for very long, hopefully it will burn itself out a bit before it hits land, or better yet doesn't make a landfall. Looks like there is a chance it may turn to the west before it hits land. I'll keep you guys along the Gulf Coast in our prayers.

 

WIRD!! I was just down there when Fay did her thing. What a wet mess it was. Just right for HIM to do his thing,

 

I just came in off the water here in fort myers about 40 miles off shore and it was very gusty and quite choppy (bout 5 -6 feet), awesome fishing. This is going to be a beast, it's still in cuba and its effect was felt already quite well,.

A million people took to Gulf Coast highways Saturday, boarding up homes and businesses and fleeing dangerous Hurricane Gustav by bus and automobile as the season's most powerful Atlantic storm took aim at Louisiana.

This is not what people living on the Gulf Coast need right now

I was in Biloxi last October and it is still a mess in parts..


Hoping it wears itself out on Cuba

I still don't believe it's heading straight to New Orleans. How many times did Fay change direction? I check the Weather Channel every few hours and have things packed to go, if I need to. I never had a chance to put the patio furniture back outside after Fay.

We still have Hannah to watch after Gustav. Welcome to the Gulf Coast!

 

Thoughts and prayers to all members in the path of Gustav.

 

Not to be a ASS.. This is the smartest thing they've done!! Its amazing it takes something like what happen to New Orleans for people that live there to get a clue. U live below sea level Get out! I also like how there not using the Super Dome again.

 

Actually, the smartest thing they could have done is declared all that land below sea level as uninhabitable. They never should have rebuilt homes there. I wonder if those people we able to get insurance on their homes this time around.
