As of 5am this morning, the models seem more firmly in agreement that Gustav will come in somewhere along the coast below Lafayette, Louisiana.
That is a relatively low population area, but the storm will still have quite a bit of strength as it moves through Lafayette. It's still going to be really unpredictable, at least until it clears Cuba. So at this point Miss G's plan is to get her ass home and wait things out there. She'd stay in New Orleans if she could but they simply won't let her. Check out the outbound traffic headed to the airport already this morning!
Once she gets home, she'll probably have to turn around and come right back on Monday or Tuesday if she can. Time will tell. Godspeed, Acadiana and the surrrounding areas!

We just got back from an overnight trip, and I hadn't heard the latest on Gustav. A mandatory evac, huh? Hope you make it some safely. Good luck.

You need to get out of there Miss Ginger! Even if it stays on the path to Lafayette or Lake Charles, depending on where it actually makes landfall and how wide it is New Orleans is going to be on the dirty side of that storm.
Sorry you have to cut the trip short.
dear miss ginger
me and kitty hope your evacuation goes well. loved the one about the math homework, at least they know the prof is checking it!
