Hurricane Gustav in baton rouge?

Question

Will gustav impact badly Baton rouge, is it gonna be more like katrina or rita? will we get tornadoes

Answer 1

Well I've been watching news reports on Gustav for the past 2-3 days. Weare going to get heavy rain and winds to about 40 mph (Tropical storm force winds). Gusts (Meaning the peak strength of the wind) could get up to 90 mph. It's going to be similar to Katrina only a little worse. Most of the residents here are staying and from what I've heard many people from coastal parishes are coming to Baton Rouge. We may get some tornadoes but mostly it'll just be wind and rain for a couple hours. Its going to hit Baton Rouge late Monday into early Tuesday...I'm pretty sure it won't be as bad as in the coastal areas because as it comes inland it loses strength. Be sure to always take precautions though because you never know what could happen...Good luck and blessings! =] x
