“There’s a reason for experienced New Orleans area meteorologists to warn hurricane watchers not to put much stock in predictions of a storm’s ultimate landfall until it gets into the Gulf of Mexico, and Gustav continues to prove them right…

Recent model runs have broadened the playing field, with potential “solutions” ranging from Gustav only reaching the Yucatan Peninsula on a westward path at five days to curving through the central Gulf and then heading east of Tallahassee, Fla.”

As for me, I’ll be on Nola.com trying to figure this ish out.

We all know what happened at Katrina and I strongly believe in the mantra “Better safe than sorry.” But right now, there’s not enough information to make a logical decision. Calm down.
