Re: Gustav a Major Hurricane, Hanna Moving West

Time:
16:49:00Z
Coordinates:
21.65N 82.1W
Flt. Lvl. Wind (30s):
From 138° at 132 knots (From the SE at ~ 151.8 mph)
Peak (10s) Flt. Lvl. Wind:
137 knots (~ 157.5 mph)
Recon reports near the center or at the center... This is getting serious. With Katrina, NO got lucky if you really think about it. Katrina s left (weaker) side of the storm hit the city. Gustav is expected to bring the right (stronger) side to the city which might mean the storm surge "could" be worse then Katrina. Something to think about, my heart and prayer goes out to the people in the path of this extremely dangerous cyclone.
A year after Rita hit in 2005, I toured and helped out with cleaning the damage and fixing homes, it was my church's mission trip. It was completely devastated, the beach was gone. The really dangerous thing about Gustav is that both Rita and Katrina areas will be impacted severely.
