Gustav is now a category 4 hurricane with winds
of 145 mph. It is heading directly for New Orleans,
which has begun evacuations, but some computer models
suggest it could veer slightly west and make landfall
in Texas. However, if it stays on course to New Orleans, Dr. Masters
writes "Gustav is capable of bringing a storm surge to
the city that will overwhelm the levees." Others suggest
it could strengthen once it leaves Cuba, where large
evacuations are underway, and enters the Gulf.
This storm has already killed 79 people.
There's another one right behind it.
