Gustav's Coming?

But where, exactly?

New Orleans, maybe.

National Guard troops stood ready and batteries and water bottles sold briskly as the New Orleans area watched as a storm marched across the Caribbean on the eve of Hurricane Katrina's third anniversary.

With forecasters warning that Gustav could strengthen and slam into the Gulf Coast as a major hurricane, a New Orleans still recovering from Hurricane Katrina's devastating hit drew up evacuation plans.

Since Louisiana has a competent governor this time around, it appears that the state and the city will be ready to deal with whatever comes their way.

Of course, it could still head for Houston -- so I may yet have to bug out.
