Update 6PM Saturday



Gustav is beginning to enter the Gulf with winds in excess of 150 MPH, just barely under a Category 5 Hurricane. Evacuations are underway throughout Louisiana and by the reports we have received, things are still relatively smooth-going. I want to give credit where credit is due and the State of Louisiana has certainly proven that they have a plan.

Our folks in New Orleans are staying and will be giving us updates as they can throughout the next few days. We will be praying for their safety.

Things are beginning to change already as winds are picking up and Florida is experiencing tornadic weather already because of Gustav.

We will keep updating you as we can; arrangements are still underway for the team to leave soon, but this will probably not occur until after Gustav makes landfall now.
