Tropical Storm Gustav Could Pose Major Threat to New Orleans

Almost three years after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, another hurricane may pose a major threat. The computer models from the website Wunderground- which you can go to by clicking on the title- say that Gustav could be a Category 3 storm by Sunday. And it could strike anywhere- the Texas coast, around Galveston or even Houston.

Or New Orleans may be under the gun once again.

Remember three years ago, Hurricane Katrina struck Miami as a Category 1 storm. Then it hit the warm waters of the Gulf, and we know what happened next. This could be deja vu once again for the Big Easy, and the levees that have been since rebuilt may be put under a very strenuous test if Gustav strikes.

You can also track this storm by scrolling down to The Weather Channel radar widget below, where you can keep an eye on storms that strike anywhere in the country.
