Exclamation Hurricane gustav update
12:00 Hurricane Gustav Update

Hurricane Gustav is still a Category 2 Hurricane. At 12:00 P.M. CDT, the center of Gustav was located about 10 miles southeast of Morgan city, Louisiana and 65 miles from New Orleans. Gustav is moving northwest at 15 mph. The center of Gustav will go along the south central Louisiana coast this afternoon and then move into western Louisiana tonight and eastern Texas on Tuesday. Wind speeds have gone down to 105 mph with high gusts. A very dangerous storm surge of 10 to 14 feet above normal tidal levels is expected near and to the east of where the center of Gustav crosses the coast. Tornadoes are also a possibility in the areas being hit and some have already happened.

Just saw a live broadcast from Morgan City on TWC and it is pouring there and the wind is blowing everything. I heard that the wind is tearing things up and ripping roofs off.

I heard that evacuees in shelters are trying to find out information on the hurricane and what areas are being hit, so I will keep posting updates and start a photo thread that has pictures of the hurricane and its effects.

Levee has busted according to CNN. They showed video of water going through one where railroad tracks were at.

I caved and started the generator. A non-Federal levee has over topped in Braithwaite and there is water seeping under a flood wall. They are urging all residents in their homes to get out now and go up to St. Bernard, (which is kinda funny if you know anything about flooding and St. Bernard). DaParish is sharing sandbags with Plaqumines and now botheYa'll keep your fingers crossed for my house in Poydras. Figures all I needed was baseboard and doors.

Choko they are saying sections of a new levee in Montegut are being over topped. Will try and post more when news crew gets there.

I left Knoxville this morning, headed towards northern Virginia(home). My family is in Southeast La. As we traveled north, I counted no less than 200 electric utility trucks, 10 Salvation Army trucks and 1 animal disaster trailer. Did my heart good to see help coming for everyone there. Hang in there...help is coming!

HURRICANE GUSTAV UPDATE

At 4:00 P.M. CDT, the center of Hurricane Gustav was located near Opelousas, Louisiana and about 15 miles north of Lafayette, Louisiana. Gustav is moving northwest at 16 mph.The center of Gustav should go across southern and western Louisiana tonight and into eastern Texas by Tuesday. Maximum winds are at 80 mph with higher gusts. Gustav is now a Category 1 hurricane. Weakening is forecast during the next 24 to 48 hours with Gustav becoming a tropical storm tonight or early Tuesday
and a tropical depression late Tuesday or Wednesday. Storm surge flooding of 10 to 14 feet above normal tide levels on the coasts of southeastern Louisiana and Mississippi will be slow to subside tonight and Tuesday. Above normal tides elsewhere in the warned area should gradually subside tonight and Tuesday.

I heard that the water in New Orleans is receating, but the ninth ward has some flooding. There is some damage to buildings and houses as well. Power is out in most places hit by the hurricane.

Here in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, it is very cloudy and windy. We should get some rain from the hurricane on Wednesday and Thursday.
