Nice link Ken

The reason I posted the subject was so real people could present a
personal guess where Hurricane Gustav will make land fall. Not so much
what computer models suggest.

Nice link tho for tracking the guess, Thanks

Hi all,
For the sake of discussion, anyone have any guesses where Hurricane
Gustav will make landfall? A bit early I know but what the heck, I'll
toss out my guess and say 25-50 miles east of New Orleans and a strong
cat3

There's more oil-wells left of New Orleans, so Gustav may head there to
preserve the Gaia Matrix. joking.


Do hurricanes, even large ones, do damage to the offshore rigs?
I know they evacuate the personnel but don't they return to
undamaged platforms?

Don't joke with Gaia. She has no sense of humor

I will 'guess' just a tad to the right of central New Orleans...
following the path of warm water.

warm eddy just north of center... carving a nice path.


Which spares the Big Easy from the dreaded NE quadrant. And
Mississippi gets slapped hard again. Maybe this time they'll get
more news coverage. It's like 9/11. New York got all the attention
while everyone forgets DC (actually Arlington, VA). All you hear
about Katrina is the Crescent City and people forget Bay Saint Louis,
Waveland, Pass Christian, Long Beach, Gulfport, Biloxi, Ocean Springs,
Gautier, and Pascagoula.
