Actually New Orleans is dead center of the cone.  :yes:

Also, Gustav is now Cat 4.  :yes:

Even if it doesn't directly hit NO, the city is still going to see effects from the storm.

Kevin mentioned "as early as tomorrow morning" when the Gulf coast could start seeing some of the first impacts from Gustav.  So, it'll be interesting to see when Storm Alert does happen :yes:

I do believe this is a complete and utter fail for TWC...there's a cat 4 hurricane buzzsawing right into the gulf, yet we find out what might happen if a cat THREE hit Savanna, GA.

You have GOT to be kidding me.

In fact New Orleans (if the NHC track remains) will be in the worst part of the storm. The front right section. Come on TWC! Where is that storm alert music? I think they will start when watches and warnings are issued for the U.S.

Yeah, that seems logical (but then again what has TWC done that was logical recently? :P). When the first Tropical Storm or Hurricane Watches are issued along the Gulf coast (meaning conditions will be deteriorating within the next 24-36 hours), I can definitely see Storm Alert following along.

There was no Storm Alert music at 4:50 PM ET. Anyone notice that Roland posted at 4:47 PM ET? :rolleyes:
