Watching television it sounds like Gustav may be coming towards
While I certainly think it is important to keep the public aware of what is happening and the fact that danger is a possibility – the frenzy that the reports are creating is a more interesting story to me.
One of the women I work with was near hysteria talking about what we are going to do when the storm hits. I told her that they do not know yet if the storm is going to hit and the last I saw of it, it was over
Meanwhile I suggest that you just stock up on food that can be eaten without cooking and does not need refrigeration, get water, batteries for your flashlights, and have some cash on hand.
Me – I am planning a big barbecue if the storm hits, it will be time to cook all the meat in the freezer and use up whatever is in the refrigerator if we lose power. So think about whether you want to join in.

Not to pick nits, but Katrina hit New Orleans, not Houston. Rita barely brushed by us to the east - landfall was near Sabine Pass. Tropical Storm Allison did over 5.5 BILLION dollars worth of damage to Houston and surrounding areas.
However, your friend is being premature about Gustav. The 5 day track has it headed towards New Orleans. That said, hurricanes are notoriously unpredicable and at this yet early point, still could hit pretty much anywhere on the Gulf Coast.
Never write a blog when you are exhausted. I have fixed the names of the storms in my post. Thanks.
