Justin and Tammy are doing well in Dallas Texas. The eye of the storm will be passing over their apartment sometime today. If they have power they will head home tomorrow. He expects it to take twice as long to get home as it did to get out; he said traffic was pretty bad at 1am when they left.
The hurricane was downgraded to a category 2 this morning, still a big storm though. Katrina was 180 miles wide and Gustav is 140 and the winds in Katrina were 125mph and Gustav's winds are at 110 now. Authorities are trying to secure 2 barges that broke loose - that's what broke the levees during Katrina. The second picture below shows hurricane Gustav, tropical storm Hanna and another storm that is building; the picture says "Nine", they expect that to become Tropical Storm Ike. The third picture is Hanna's projected path. Hopefully Hanna and Ike won't progress into hurricanes.
Comparing Katrina and Gustav: Katrina had a much more defined eye of the storm. You can also see Gustav is more spread out and not such a tight coil.
