While everybody remembering Katrina 3-year anniversary which were killed more than 1,600 people, the Gulf Coast now wait for another powerful hurricane… its Gustav.
1. Historic evacuation of nearly 2 millions people from Louisiana coast complete. Thousands more had left from Mississippi, Alabama and flood-prone southeast Texas.
2. Gustav already killed at least 94 people on its path through the Caribbean.
3. It had top sustained winds of 115 mph, and was likely to stay a Category 3 storm when it made landfall west of New Orleans. Category 3 storms have winds between 111 mph and 130 mph.
4. The nation’s economic attention was focused on Gustav’s effect on refineries and offshore petroleum production rigs. The combination of prolonged production interruptions, such as occurred when Katrina and Rita damaged the Gulf infrastructure, could trigger rising prices.
