Hurricane Gustav

It's devastating to see any area hit with a hurricane of this strength, to see it headed towards New Orleans, the same area's as Katrina is just awful. I know RGlass is in La., anyone else here in the path of Gustav please post in and if it's heading right at your area in the next few days, please find a poster to give contact info. to. The same goes for Hannah as it approaches west, towards Fl.
  All you Fl. Posters…. I am in central Fl., safer than the coast or south Fl. If anyone needs to head out of harms way, needs a hand, room, whatever, please PM me.
I am glued to the weather channels thru this. I feel so bad for all those evacuating, going through this again.
Please don’t think you can stay put through these hurricanes! If it turns this way, I’m heading north with family and animals. Just the tropical storms, weakened hurricanes have torn our area up, left us without electric for days, blocked out of our roads (tree’s) and caused incredible damage.

Everyone please stay safe!

I just pulled up The National Hurricane Center and it looks like you guys may get a “By” on this one. Saw a report yesterday that looked like you were going to get a direct hit. Keep an eye on it and be safe

Entergy (Power Company) says our power may be restored by Monday. Just in time for Ike to hit the Gulf and Re-Group.

Since Gustav missed New Orleans, it is getting very little media coverage. Entergy said it will probably go down in the record books for causing the most State Wide Damage.

I wish the best for everyone in South Florida. If you haven’t left yet, PLEASE LEAVE NOW

Sounds like Hurricane Ike won't be much fun either - what a year so far...

Ike was on course to pummel the Bahamas Saturday and Sunday before possibly slamming into Cuba, another island nation recently battered by this hurricane season's conga line of storms.

Ike is then forecast to make landfall in south Florida on Wednesday as a major hurricane, Castillo warned.

Densely populated south Florida, including the cities of Miami and Fort Lauderdale, has not been hit by a major hurricane since Hurricane Andrew in 1992 -- the costliest natural disaster in US history until it was topped by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

Ike was downgraded slightly Friday but remained a "major hurricane" as it churned over the western Atlantic, with sustained winds of 185 kilometers (115 miles) per hour -- a category three on the five-level Saffir-Simpson scale, the NHC said.

As of 0600 GMT Saturday, Ike was 530 kilometers (330 miles) northeast of Grand Turk Island and was moving southwest at about 26 kilometers (16 miles) per hour, the NHC said.
