Does anyone know the probability of gustav hitting us?

Question

i'm trying to find out if i should try to get off work early to get some things done around the house. my off days arent until this weekend but after work i have football & cheerleading practice for the kids. i don't wanna do everything last minute but i also don't wanna lose out on money or hours if were more likely not gonna get hit. i've been watching the news but it's all so confusing to me :(

Answer 1

It is too soon to know where Gustav will make landfall, or how strong the storm will be when it does.

Just watch the news and be prepared:

Answer 3

The probably of a DIRECT or almost direct hit, like Katrina,  is probably about 1 in 20 at this point.

The probably of at least an indirect hit ( with some daamge, and flooding but nothing castastrophic)  is probably about 1 in 3.

The probably of getting at least some efffects, light wind damge, some minor flooding, heavr rains, is probably about 1 in 2 at this point.
