NOT GOOD x 2!!!



Well Gustav has now become a monster!!!  The pressure is down to 945mb with sustained winds of 145mph...  That's a strong Category-4...  It dropped 9mb in less than 3 hours which is amazing!!!  The scariest part of this is the fact that Gustav is not even in the Gulf yet!  Once it crosses western Cuba and hits the Loop Current this storm will reach Cat-5 status...  I want to watch how Gustav crosses Cuba before I do a full tropical update...  Small fluctuations west or east can make a huge difference in the end game...  Unfortunately I have been noticing this morning that Gustav has been jogging east point after point...  The more Gustav jogs east the more chance Gustav is going to have a direct impact on New Orleans!!!  Again I think when it pops out in the Gulf tonight everyone will have a much better idea on where Gustav SHOULD go...  Let's hope for the best and prepare for the worst at this point!!!
