Hurricane Gustav

------------------------------ (click on any of the images and they will enlarge)

Gustav is still a long way away from America.

It looks clear that the Cuban people are in for a rough ride. It appears to be headed right for Havana.

Hurricanes are somewhat unpredictable, but if one takes the NOAA predictions seriously it looks most probable that after crossing the hot Gulf of Mexico and very likely growing in strength, it may reach land well west of New Orleans.

If it does, that will be a blessing for the people of New Orleans and the Katrina survivors. But it will be hard on the people in my old stomping grounds…around Vermillion bay, Morgan City, and New Iberia, Louisiana.
