Following Gustav
I usually don’t care much about the weather or hurricane warnings, but this whole Gustav situation has me positively riveted. I can’t believe that another massive storm is bearing down on New Orleans just a few years after Katrina devastated the city.
This time around, people seem to be taking the government warnings more seriously. There’s a mandatory evacuation in effect, all highway lanes have been rerouted to lead out of The Big Easy, and everyone’s acting with a sense of urgency.
I really hope Gustav doesn’t do major damage to New Orleans and that all these precautions turn out to err on the safe side. The region just wouldn’t be able to stand another massive natural disaster.
