Hurricane Gustav

[CPort]

well, what kind of a name is this ??
All water,gas cans etc are gone up here (Jackson metro area) my birthday is Monday the 1st, its bad enough that Big K came on my birthday eve 3 years ago.
I don't have a generator so I'm just praying . Now is one of the times I wish I'd saved old water bottles. I don't buy milk in gallons either.

Wow! But I guess we shouldn't be surprised. It takes minutes to go up and weeks to go down.

Here's from the NHC, five o'clock discussion:"IN FACT...TAKING INTO
ACCOUNT THE UNCERTAINTIES IN TRACK...INTENSITY...AND SIZE
FORECASTS...THE CHANCES OF HURRICANE-FORCE WINDS WITHIN THE NEXT
FIVE DAYS ARE ESSENTIALLY THE SAME AT EACH INDIVIDUAL LOCATION FROM
THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE COAST WESTWARD THROUGH THE ENTIRE COASTLINE
OF LOUISIANA."

Well that about covers it.

I tried to post some pictures of Hurricane Eloise. Also have a movie (old family 8mm now on cd). Maybe I'll figure it out tomorrow. It shows Lake Tresca and Eastern Lake joined. Water going through where now there is a house on the corner of SanRoy. You may just have to come by the house to see them. I drove back from Pensacola today and must have passed a dozen busses heading west, I guess towards New Orleans.

Very interesting posts about hurricane Eloise. Hope to see your pictures of Eloise tomorrow. As far as Gustav turning at the last minute - how much time does that give people to prepare their homes?

Does anyone know where to find one of those sea tempurature maps of the gulf? I was searching around but couldn't find a current one. I'm curious what Gustav will be passing over on it's way up towards us.

When I worked in emergency management I use to monitor ones on a FSU website. Sorry do not remember the url. It was all the readings from buoys in the Gulf. A lot of good information.

Jeff Masters has described what I think he calls a loop eddy (which has broken off from the main loop) and it is sitting south-southwest of New Orleans. The temperatures there are warmer than the surrounding waters, and if the storm passes over it, it could be very very bad.
