Gustav Watch 29AUG08

Latest track projection:


It's held pretty constant throughout the day - showing landfall somewhat more to the west than it showed Wednesday. On this track New Orleans may dodge a bullet, but it puts us catching some of the more powerful NE quadrant. Since it hasn't hit the Gulf yet, all scenarios are on the table, IMHO.

We also have one advantage we didn't have in 2005 - a competent Governor.

UPDATE 30 AUG08: Along with Golden Triangle, another excellent weather website we're watching is Crown Weather Services, which has good storm compilations including wind speed ("swath") predictions and forecasts on rain amounts.

No hotel rooms left here in Hattiesburg, AFAIK. We're looking to catch the east side of it too. Not good.
