A trough moving across the Midwest could slow Gustav down, but he is definitely going to be a problem anyway you look at it. As we attempt to make final decisions regarding a trip south, the question on everyone’s mind is: Where will he make landfall?
My guess is still near New Orleans on Tuesday.
As we were discussing the possible trip south, I took a moment to call on some friends we have and a few television stations in Louisiana. According to reports, the lines for generators were long, but the folks from Home Depot were being friendly!
“It is not Katrina!” said one of my contacts. “There are buses everywhere and anyone that wants a ride will have one! There is no panic…nothing like last time!”
It was good to hear. The State of Louisiana truly has shown that they have learned some lessons and given this a lot of thought.
As we wake tomorrow to what should be a Category One Hurricane, everyone around the country will be eyeing Gustav.
I expect that we will see not only intensification over the next 36 hours, but a very intense GROWTH pattern which should cause ALL residents on all sides of the Gulf to be making last minute preparations NOW.
If the team heads to the Gulf, we will let you know and you can watch for updates on KHAS-TV until we return.
Until tomorrow…Peace.
