Re: Did you notice the storm surge prediction for Gustav?

For a bit more information on a Hurricane with a track similar to Gustav's track.
Google Hurricane Betsy-1965 or Hurricane Pam, which was an exercise run against a hypothetical Hurricane called Pam.
Both Betsy and Pam had a SE to NW track near New Orleans.
Betsy left New Orleans in a huge mess. That's why the Levee System was built. At least one of the reasons.
