Gustav Computer Models

That does not look good...

It actually looks a hell of a lot better for us as compared to earlier today. The most accurate models appear to have it going well west of us.

West of us means we get the "bad" side right?

I'll take a coupla inches 'a rain any day

Yeah, the northeast side of the hurricane is the worst . So if it goes west of us, we are more in the damage path, thats if it is not too far west of us. But if it goes in somewhere in the Lafayette, Lake Charles area, we could get some serious weather here in BR.

That's what I'm worried about. Those of you who are from the Acadiana area and west, isn't that the side we got for Rita, I mean I was out of power for over a week and I was in Acadia parish

Once it gets between the Yucatan peninsula and the U.S. Gulf Coast it's a crap shoot.

Best of luck to all. I hope the damned thing turns straight south into Hugo Chavez' house.

just better not mess up LSU's season this year.

Time for me to fuel up the RV!

The issue is if the storm just enters the gulf and there is a chance that it could impact south lousiana then evacuations will be be called 72-hrs before the storm hits. It takes 72-hrs to get everybody out. Contra Flow would likely be started sometime Saturday therefore canceling the game. If this storm crosses Cuba into the Gulf, it is likely going to cause the game to be canceled, it doesn't matter if Baton Rouge won't directly be effected by the storm the roads through Baton Rouge are the evacuation routes therefore it creates a problem to play the game. The decision likely will be made if the game is cancelled I suspect by Friday possibly Thursday. Lets just hope it somehow goes off to Mexico and never really impacts the Gulf of Mexico.
