looks like they expect gustav to be a cat 3 out over the gulf, settling as a cat 2 when it's makes it to land on the west side of louisiana.

my sister goes to tulane, they evacuated until wednesday. pretty crazy first week of going back to school.

No kidding. I'll be looking forward to the opener next week. Especially after this weeks mess of a game.

Well, looks like we might not be able to avoid Ike, though I'll say this one is giving me Rita-vibes in how it might keep shifting eastward on us before landfall.

Regardless, Houston is in the bullseye (sorry) on this one, and certainly bears more than just watching now.

I'm not a big fan of any hurricans, but if one's going to hit it might as well not do it on a weekend.....especially one with baseball and football games I was planning to attend.

btw, I'm guessing local Houstonians already keep up with SciGuy's blog on Chron.com as he is the shizz when it comes to this sort of thing, and I'd be remiss not to link to him given he's pretty familiar with ItB.com...

Good stuff from our local paper...? Hard to believe, but yup.

Since I am in North Dakota, I am not worried about drinking water right now.

But I do want to say good luck to you guys and stay dry and above the projected storm surge.
