Re: Gustav a Major Hurricane, Hanna Moving West

It does appear that even with the wobbles Gustav had today, he is now clearly on a NW path...at quite a good clip, too. But we must also keep this in mind: this storm is HUGE...and will impact a lot of people, not just NOLA.




We've already got some pretty intense rain bands today here in w. Charlotte County (Fl). On top of all the water from TS Fay, there's going to be some inland flooding, most likely. Everyone needs to remember the impact isn't just wind and storm surge, it's rainfall. This system will dump a ton of water on an already saturated area, which will only compound the problems.
