Gustav a threat to LA

Hello everyone! Sorry I have not posted here in a while. Ok here is my update on Gustav, Hannah and other tropical tidbits out there!

Gustav: Now Hurricane Gustav is moving NW and is threatening the Cayman Islands, and will be threatening Cuba Tomorrow! Then a GOM movement is expected and I am very worried about intensity! I think this system will become a Cat 3 very easy, and maybe even become cat 4 or 5. As for the track: I expect Gustav to stay on a NW track for a while. I then expect this system to hit the GOM and explode. I expect this system to make landfall in central LA and then continue moving WNW to NW.

Hannah: I expect Hannah to continue to slowly strengthen and move WNW to NW. Then I expect a ridge to block it South and Send it back into South Florida or just South of Florida and maybe into the GOM. Ok, I will point this out as well, although I know you dont want to hear it. This system COULD become a major hurricane IF it makes it into the GOM.

97L: 97L is on its way to becoming a depression and will most likely become our third cyclone within the next 2 to three days. I expect a W to WNW movement for the next few days!

Hurricane Gustav to hit as Category 3 - 4 storm

~ Gustav is now a Category 1 Hurricane ~

The maps below illustrate the potential destruction that is to come. New Orleans residents are already beginning to evacuate. I expect this storm may reach Category 5 intensity somewhere in the wide-open gulf, but it WILL weaken before landfall. I expect it to hit the coast 75 - 200 miles west of New Orleans. Please stay tuned to the Tyler's Weather.com Blog.
