Where hurricane Gustav hit?

Question

Anyone have any predictions where/if hurricane Gustav will hit? If so where, and if Florida, any chances for north Florida?

Answer 1

Here I said this in several questions about Gustav...

Well, it depends on which forecast model you look at.

The BAMS, BMAD, BAMM, models are bringing gustav to almost a direct hit with New Orleans. This does not appear to be the likely scenario.

The UKMET, LBAR, GFDL, models are showing that the hurricane will likely make a Central/Norther texas or extreme wester LA landfall. This looks more reasonable and will most likely will be the path.

BUT.... The NHC(National Hurricane Center) model is taking the storm to make a Central LA landfall and that could involve New Orleans. The NHC model is in the middle of the two outliers so it could very well be the correct track.

Once it enters the golf with water temperatures reaching 90 it is forecast to rapidly strenghten.

Could make landfall as a Category 4 maybee 5???

It would be just as devastating.

Check out this website for more information on the track...

Moving on,

I really think that this could be a very big hurricane but it can how it interacts with land will determine exactly how strong it can get.

Gustav, may be similair to Katrina if it takes the New Orleans track.

Either way it will be devastating

And no very very small chance of hiting north Florida

Maybee the outer bands

Answer 3

headed straight for Louisiana/ Texas and its going to continue to move northwest not Florida  

Answer 4

It's looking like it's headed straight for New Orleans, unfortunately.  However, it could decide to turn at any time and hit somewhere else on the Gulf Coast.  Everyone who lives there should be paying close attention, because this is going to be a bad one.

You can easily track Gustav with the special section of links on http://www.USAMediaGuide.com.  There, you can find links to the projected path, National Hurricane Center coverage, local TV and newspaper coverage, live webcam feeds, and other Gustav stuff.
