Answer 1

Yeah...

You'll get some pretty high winds and lots of rain, but that amount of distance will take the sting out of the hurricane...

I highly doubt you would be safe, hurricane winds can stretch out over 100 miles from the actual center of circulation.

No

The best thing you can do is to watch the weather channel, or the local news to keep informed of where Gustav is going.

Good luck
