will Michael Moore and Olberman be celebrating when this hits Havana like they were last night in anticipation of it hitting New Orleans?

This needs to be used by the campaign preemptively. These people are hateful.

what happens if Hanna catches up to Gustav? Do they spin around each other , or do they repel, because it looks like the western edge of H is awfully close to the eastern edge of G.http://www.goes.noaa.gov/ECIR4.html

This is going to be very bad if it proves out. I’m 180 miles north of the coast and already all our hotels and motels are booked up.

Hanna’s mch slower moving, it won’t catch up unless it really picks up speed.

If Gustav hits the below see level New Orleans again, will the people there get the idea not to rebuild and waste money but to move to a place where it's less likely to be destroyed every third year?? If New Orleans gets hit again, will the Democrats blame the Bush Administration for the death of the public and destruction of property?? Of course, they will. New Orleans is a huge lib town filled with people living off of money made by the rest of us. Is this another type of wealth distribution?? I think it is. Will this storm help McCain or help McCain?? We all know what's good for the country is bad for the Democrats.

Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi just issued a joint statement blaming President Bush for the deadly storm.

FEMA chief is not a meteorologist.

Its not a cat5. Cuba will disrupt it. We will see after it passes.

I watched the first part of the 10 p.m. CDT news/weather out of Ft. Smith, AR last night.

During that weather update, Gustav jumped from Cat 1 to Cat 4.

They can change in a hurry — up or down.
