This video is a series of emulator videos I'm making for the New Orleans area as Gustav begins to approach.

Kristin said TWC would be on "High Alert" for the next 12 hours so maybe they will go into Storm Alert tomorrow morning.

Can someone please explain what is going on with Hannah's track? It's not very often that you see storms DIVE to the south like that, gang.

Seriously, though, I wonder where it will wind up over time if it takes that odd track.

Beyond hitting Flordia in the long range it's expected to hit somewhere not too far from the east of Gustav (LA/MS Border).

I'm very scared and worried for New Orleans, Gustav could be like Katrina all over again. On another side note this would be a huge blow to our economy if it did severely damage the oil rigs in the GOM.

Now, this wasn't Allen Jackson, but you know the lady who does the Weatherscan narration (I don't recall her name at the moment)? Well, I asked her to do some simple weather narration for me about two years ago (like, "Your current conditions," etc), and she said she couldn't due to a contractual agreement with TWC (which stated she wasn't allowed to do any other weather-related narrations for other clients while under contract). But, good luck!

I'm not too surprised by that and btw her name is Amy Bergeron.
