Gustav is supposed to hit Louisiana for the most part. Texas, Mississippi, and Florida will be affected too. My friend Ashley just evacuated from Florida. She was there for the weekend on vacation in Destin, FL. They had to evacuate because Gustav was supposed to hit near there and they didn't want to take any chances. She said that there had already been some problems with Gustav, extremely strong winds and heavy rain. It's caused several wrecks and whatnot around the area. She was actually able to take some pictures of the hurricane, she sat and watched it move across the water from the balcony of their resort. She also took a few pictures of the debris and fallen trees and whatnot around there. Gustav was a category five on Saturday. But, Sunday it dropped to a category three. She said that they are expecting it to either stay a three or drop to a two before it actually hits land. Either way, it will still be a very destructive hurricane.
Over 3 million people have evacuated the coast and so far three people have died during the evacuation. Those three people were fatally ill before Gustav tho, so their death wasn't because of Gustav.
