Hurricane Gustav

Hurricane Gustav is forecast to hit the Gulf coast of the USA tomorrow. The Mayor of New Orleans has ordered a mandatory evacuation of the city - including emergency services - in preparation for the arrival of Hurricane Gustav, which he called "the storm of the century". He urged people to take the situation seriously, and warned them that if they did choose to be "stubborn" and ride out the storm, they would be on their own. Hurricane Gustav has already brought havoc to Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica and Cuba. More information can be found about evacuation of New Orleans here.
