Safe to go back to Louisiana: Gustav Takes Aim

Wired Reports that Tropical storm Gustav is headed right for the southeast part of Louisiana. Taking aim at the oil rigs down there, in the gulf. Even if it just a tropical storm it still could cause damage driving our gas prices up.

But aside from that, what about Louisiana?

Nature has been pretty busy this summer.

War on drugs? War on terror?

The guise of continuity of government.

It's not even in the Gulf of Mexico yet.

I'm following weatherman Bob Breck's blog. http://bobbreck.blogspot.com/

oh man, I can't stand Bob. But he's got the right idea on the blog - trying to forecast it this far out is pretty useless. Just be ready to get out of dodge if necessary.

I was hoping the mountains of Jamaica would tear it up some, but it seems to have shifted south of them. My fear is that it moves very slowly through the Gulf, which is really warm right now, and builds steam all the way.

And joy, now we've got another TS in the Atlantic - Hanna. I hate this time of year.

The only problem with waiting to do something is that hotel/motel rooms on Labor Day weekend get snatched up - not to mention premature panicking everyone to snatch up reservations.

I did find one in the area I wanted to go. They need to work on their web map though. An arrow in the middle of green square near a highway is not much help without streets. AAA did not have the hotel in their data base either.

And then there was unloading my car on an incline. Note to architect: luggage carts will roll on inclines near a hotel entrance. No, the cart did not escape my clutches. Muhahahahahaha!
