I’ve missed everything for 12 hours but it seems Nagin is overreacting to Gustav? Why is Drudge involved?
They’ve ordered a full-fledged bug out.
It jogged north, putting NO directly in the the path until/unless it moves again. It grew from 300 miles across to 900 miles across in a few hours and is starting to set its own path. It seems to be remaining a strong category 4 over Cuba and it hits the Gulf Loop that strengthened Katrina so much tomorrow. The NHC is warning them of 20 foot storm surges on the North side of Lake Ponchatrain. I do not think they are overreacting this time.
Things can still change, but someone is going to take a hit from at least a category 3 storm with the speed it is moving now.
I don’t think he is going overboard. This storm could well be worse than Katrina for NO.
