Just 2 days before the anniversary of Katrina, this is what we are looking at:




Please everyone, send your strongest mojo that this storm does not hit us as a major storm as predicted. Wish it upon Mexico or something.

Make sure you get out of town in time if it is going to hit. You could always evacute to Vegas, there is always a room for Swae and you!

The storm is still a way off.

Besides it looks like this is Florida's year for storms maybe Gus will go play with Fay.

I don't know what the gulf temps are like this year the year of Katrina and Rita the gulf was incredibly hot which led to rapid intensification.

If however the 5 day forecast starts looking grim then like Camel says there are plenty of places you guys can evacuate to.

My parents are within driving distance, and there are plenty of extra bedrooms and internet in Wisconsin.

It definitely is a ways off, but something about this one is freaking me out a bit...lol. Gustav has now tied the record for the fastest intensifying storm on record, which is also scary. The models are predicting a Cat 4 or 5 since it's late in the summer and the Gulf is so warm. Apparently we are all waiting to see what some front over Utah is going to do...it will either come push the storm to Mexico or let it come to Louisiana.

As far as evacuating, I doubt we leave. In fact, my house will probably be a shelter for some of my New Orleans friends. Although if we lose power for 2 weeks like we did with Katrina/Rita, I think Kidd might go nuts and flee with his computer to somewhere with internet.
