Count on it. The NHC has changed Hurricane Gustav's track and it seems to be heading almost straight for NO. I wouldnt give that 100% BUT Gustav is heading for the Gulf of Mexico.
HE will be a bad ass mother fucker. 4+ :) You heard it here first.

Haiti is already getting Cat 2 effects... with the water temps and NHC track, its only going to get bigger and stronger. Today will be awesome for growth. |

I dont know the specific link you are talking about.. but I do know that each model.. see above plots out fronts and pressures to make the hurricane's track. So for each model there is a different perspective on whats going to happen. If you are looking for a current one meaning a current layout of whats going on now I could look for something similar. So what do you mean? :) |

Thanks, but it isn't the season that has anyone concerned...it's the HURRICANE! We already know it's hurricane season but the season doesn't make hurricanes any less destructive. If we see tornados coming no one dismisses them because it may be tornado season. People take them seriously because they are destructive and can kill! The same with hurricanes. |

i'm looking for the link...i'll let you know what i find so you can see what i mean..
another interesting point..
in the historical models..i know at least 1 path is missing
10 years ago, I had helped my son with a school project on hurricanes. We had several references, and one was an old encylopedia set that belonged to my Dad, written in 1940's.
Yes, with technology at our fingertips, i still referred to it...sorta for sake of fondness / memory
anyways, it showed that when hurricane comes up in the middle, southern part of gulf, was a high risk for Tampa Bay area, and a previous plot... when i google it, it appears to be the one from 1921
[link to en.wikipedia.org]
That so far has worked as a measuring guide on how close to tampa bay area it will be...was the same for charlie and fay..meaning...how far to the right (east) of the middle where it comes up from gulf / cuba (in that area) is how far down (i.e. south) from tampa bay it lands...sounds kind of screwy, i know...for there are so many other potential influences, such as pressure sytems, etc
is also what old timers say from disaster relief teams i help on...
i'm just speculating at this point and trying to plan accordingly. |

LONDON -- Oil rose more than US$1 to reach US$116 a barrel on Tuesday, bouncing off lows as concerns arose about possible disruption to U.S. offshore oil and gas output from a strengthening Hurricane Gustav.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Gustav, a category one hurricane, had strengthened slightly in the central Caribbean as it churned toward southwestern Haiti.
Weather models showed it either heading in a westerly direction toward Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula or steering northwest and moving into the central Gulf of Mexico by early Sunday, to potentially disrupt offshore oil and gas production. Quoting: FP-Oil climbs $1 on hurricane fears

The storm is mightier than the sword—at least when it comes to oil prices.
Energy markets shuddered Tuesday as Gustav became a hurricane near Haiti and aimed for the Gulf. Crude futures shrugged off a weaker dollar and surged past $117, Bloomberg reports. Oil markets didn’t react that much to recent Russian saber-rattling over the Caucasus.
Gustav’s projected path, moving northwest at 12 miles an hour, would take it smack into watery oil patch in the Gulf of Mexico. Warm water there could also make the storm, right now just a Category 1 hurricane, even stronger. Also from Bloomberg:
“This time next week it will be somewhere in the Gulf,” said Eric Wilhelm, senior meteorologist at private forecaster AccuWeather Inc. in State College, Pennsylvania. “All the states lining the Gulf Coast of the U.S. will be on the lookout.”
Now that T. Boone Pickens and even Nancy Pelosi are toying with the idea of additional offshore drilling, do summertime storms represent a real threat to America’s energy policy? Quoting: WSJ-Storm Surge: Hurricane Gustav Drives Up Oil Prices

Gustav seems to be making up for the lack of wind-punch in Fay. It seems to be building extra wind-punch quickly. The forces in nature have a way of balancing out...what is weak in one becomes stronger in another. |

The pressure from wind increases with the square of the speed. So, 100 mph winds apply four times the pressure as 50 mph winds. |
