    The track in that satellite animation makes it look like it will go much more west than the current track shows.

    At 7:55 they said it was 5:55 there... sounds like it could be delayed a couple of hours.

    Gustav's pressure is dropping at an alarming rate and the strong storms that were on the SW side are wrapping around to the NE side of the storm (forming an eye).

    As far as eye wall landfall, the NGFDL is really the only one far apart and that one is not one of the more reliable models. If its right this time and Gustav strikes the TX/LA border It'll get more respect!

    Hey this is cool. If you have DirecTV they are broadcasting New Orleans local station WDSU on ch 361 for the next couple of days because of the storm.

    LOL @ the purple model! Could you imagine if that one actually happened? It would basically stall over us while it takes a U-turn back into the Gulf.

    Actually, now that I look at it, I see four models that have Gustav taking some sort of U-turn, and eventually will start moving south. Hopefully it doesn't take the turn in Houston or it's Allison all over again (if not worse).

    The storm is supposed to stall like crazy when it hits the Lafayette area, this is bad news for Houston and Beaumont.

    but really what kind of steam will it even have left by then? nothing more than a tropical sneeze.

    Beaumont is a long way from Houston. I'm not convinced we're gonna get much rain out of this....just depends how far west it goes before making landfall, i guess.
