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

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

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

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.

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

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.

Looks like the eye tightened-up a bit after leaving Cuba.

You're putting it pretty close to the Mississippi Gulf Coast where
Katrina went ashore. Yet there doesn't seem to be any strong steering
currents to deflect the storm from a straight course (which is
extremely unusual for a normally erratic hurricane).

I went through Hurricane Camille in 1969 and lived in New Orleans
East in the mid 1970s where it was 9 feet below sea level. Ask
me how much I love now living in the mile-high city of Denver.

I'll bet Gustav comes ashore somewhere that hasn't been hit
for a very long time. Lightning strikes the same place often but
not hurricanes.

That having been said, the Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi gulf
coasts can expect, at a minimum, a lot of wind and a lot of rain.
Some place will see severe flooding and destruction.

It's ironic landfall will coincide with the Republican National
Convention. Imagine news coverage alternating between storm
damage and speech-making in Minnesota.

Poor President Bush and his wannabe successor. If they didn't
have ban luck, they wouldn't have any luck at all.
