Weather channel just declared Gustav a CAT III, with 115mph winds....

That means it’s gone to CAT-3 early(NOAA forecast points).

Mite go to CAT-4 BEFORE it hits Cuba,,,

I guess that could kick it back toward Nola,,,and,,

That warm water eddy north of Cuba could push it to CAT-5

before it hits those wells/rigs...:0(
