Is anybody worried about this years hurricane season? Possibly up to 23 hurricanes? It worrys me because it gives the whole gulf coast a greater risk of getting hit by a hurricane. It’s crazy. Ive been thinking about buying hurricane supplies now to be better prepared. I live in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and I wasen’t prepared for Gustav at all and wasent too worried as it was a landfalling category 2. It ended up being the worst storm to ever hit Baton Rouge and I lost most of my roof in that storm, Along with my bathroom window and the pine trees in my yard. Should I start preparing now for possible storms this year? What are yall doing?
Standing outside his restaurant in the city’s Faubourg Marigny district, Dale DeBruyne prepared for Gustav the way he did for Katrina — stubbornly.
"I’m not leaving," he said.
DeBruyne, 52, said his house was stocked with storm supplies, including generators.
"I stayed for Katrina," he said, "and I’ll stay again."
"This is the real deal, not a test," Nagin said as he issued the order, warning residents that staying would be "one of the biggest mistakes of your life." He emphasized that the city will not offer emergency services to anyone who chooses to stay behind.
Predictions are for a cat 5 hurricane. Cat 4 or 5. Doesn’t matter. Katrina should have been a wake up call for anybody living in the NO area. If people decide to stay, they’re gambling with their lives.
While stationed on the Island of Guam I had no other choice but to stay on island through the typhoons that struck. I remember Super Typhoon Paka very well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhoon_Paka
I guess he’s gotta do what he’s gotta do. He’s obviously a gambling man because he loves playing Russian Roulette.
I’m in Houston :(..I’m really hoping that Ike is the same as Gustav…
Emergency Supplies:
Bottled Water
Some band-aids
canned peaches
the grocery store nearby is EMPTY…the only stuff left is the perishable stuff and really unhealthy crap that I refuse to eat…it’s also kind of sad that they ran out of beer before they ran out of water and ice…
There is like 6 gas stations in my town, and they were all out of gas until like 30 min ago….
I saw this on Facebook! It’s so funny and SO SO SO true! It sort of made feel warm inside b/c we all (the family) do and thing the same things pretty much xD

ENOUGH of Hurricane Katrina. YES it was horrible & sad . SO was 9/11. Life goes on! Ever since Katrina every1 scared it’s "going to happen again". Does any1 hate how the media scares us. I live in Houston so I have an idea of what Hurricanes are too! I am so sick of hearing about a storm off the coast of AFRICA & people in Houston making evac. plans & stokcing up on supplies. I know you can’t be too careful but some ppl take it too far don’t you think?
Sorry Nicole :(.
Sorry Nicole :(.
I’m referring to people in Houston worrying about Gustav & I don’t need to hear about N.O for the 3001th time. Why does everyone mention New Orleans when it comes to Katrina? What in the HELL about Mississippi?
Hurricane Gustav, being a category 2 hurricane when it hit Louisiana, was considered by our nation as a false alarm. Sure, the levees held, New Orleans really didn’t get the damage it was expected, and we all moved on with our lives. Except for the state’s capitol, Baton Rouge. Most of this footage was taken from my house, my neighbor’s house, my neighborhood, and the city in general. With wind gusts over 90 miles an hour, Hurricane Gustav surpassed the deathly hurricane Betsy and long …
I am trying to use the real world feature and take off from the coordinates location of gustav right now. How come the weather station data comes out clear skies?? How can I get a hurricane to fly in? Is there a download if all else fails?
okay——
HI! my name is ruby, i am 16 and my mom says that i have been suffering from PTS Post Traumatic Stress. But i’ve been fighting with it for 5 really really long years! i went through katrina, and it was hell for me, but i got through it some what, and then last year gustav hit. and that brought it all back and since then it has been a every day fight with it! hurricane season is one month away!
i’ve been going crazy trying to find a way to make it easier on me but nothing is working!
-i’ve kept a blog *privet so it’s more like a journal* just so i could keep track of my thoughts on this, and try to stay semi normal.
-i’ve got alot of pets and i’ve been dealing with them alot! you know as an anit-pts thing. it’s not really working because when i deal with them it’s more like "I do not have a record of you yet… lets go make one!" i’ve made records of my pets that way if any of them get’s lost i have all of there information with me at all times.
i know what has caused it. or at least i am pretty sure of it.
when we do go, we stay at my uncles house. it’s hell. my life is sorda insane, i go to sleep at 3AM and wake up at 11PM
do school, train my budgie, clean cages, break and write in journal, and work wth pets more. out there it’s nothing litke that it’s go to bed at 10PM and wake up at 5AM, eat 4 times a day, and they do not watch TV nor do they allow us to so i do not know what is going on, they don’t have internet, and the nearest place that does is 3 hours away! and radios don’t get great signals out there. i have to stay in the house because i am allergic to the bugs they have they also make my pets stay outside, so i don’t get to play with them. it’s just hell but that’s all mom goes to.
i’ve been in panic mode for the past 3 months, i do not know what to do!
i have gone to mom and she tells me that it’s my fault because i focus on it to much but i do not! i try my hardest to get away from it but sometimes the TV will air something about it and i’ll sorda freak out.
i want help from a therapist or something but mom won’t let me, and everytime i try to talk to my doctor about it she tells me to be quiet….
please help me i don’t know how much longer i can keep fighting with this
Hurricane Ike and Hurricane Gustav hammer the Gulf Coast. Shot by award winning storm chasing journalist and extreme weather photographer Warren Faidley. Stormchaser.com (I do not check messages here, so see my website for contact info.)
I have to do a hurricane tracking chart for school on Gustav but I’m having trouble finding the coordinates. Which websites have them? I also need the miles per hour for each point. I need 10, 2 for each day.
