Hurricane Gustav
« on: August 26, 2008, 12:58:15 PM »
So I am as much a weather nerd as I am a history nerd. I have been watching Gustav closely as a tropical storm develop, looks like it could be a good one but its headed into the gulf, not good. As long as it doesn't hit the Gulfport, MS area I will be happy. My family lives about 90 miles off the coast and Katrina jacked them up good last time. I headed down there right after the storm, hope I don’t have to do that again…

Yeah, looks like it could be a big one! If it starts that far away from land it will probably be a big one for sure! I know it is pooring again at my house and my sunroom is flooding again! Man! >:(

Yeah - Gustav could be a nasty one... already projected to be a Category 3 when it makes it into the warm Gulf waters...

Looks like predictions are showing it headed towards the New Orleans/Gulf Port area and to be off the coast Monday morning... GREAT. I have already planned to be at my grandparents this weekend and coming home Monday. Now I am torn on what to do because IF it does hit that area and hits home pretty good I will be turning around and making the 400 mile trip back to Mississippi...

good thing I got a 4 door. My uncle called and would like for me to bring the 2 generators down with me to leave with them. They want to be a little more prepared this time incase things get bad. He said all the generators with in 3 hours of them are sold out.

Well there was a tornado that hit Clemson campus 2 days ago.  It hasn't stopped raining in 3 days now.  My jeep is never going to dry at this rate.  I am tired of getting soaked driving it.
