Gustav Now a Major Hurricane

New Orleans is now on edge as Hurricane Gustav is now a Category 3 storm- and it may hit land as a category 4, or even a 5.

A hurricane watch is in effect from the east Texas coast to around Mobile, Alabama. A hurricane warning is in effect for the offshore waters in the Gulf of Mexico. Winds are already at an estimated 150 miles per hour, and models say that south central or southeast Louisiana is in the bulls eye.

It looks like the northeast outer bands are hitting south Florida already.

Katrina, 2008 version. It could happen.
