Time to bring in your pot plants...
If you own any agricultural land in New Orleans area, write it off now.
If you thought your tax money was safe from aiding evacuees in a bowl below
sea-level along the Gulf Coast for awhile, guess again.
If you thought NWS is straight-up, unbiased science, guess again.
Yesterday, Gustav was estimated Cat3 throughtout its journey to the Gulf
Coast. Despite its obvious path through warm waters that aid hurricane
intensity. In one day, tropical storm to Cat4 hurricane. In prior times,
the Cuba's west almost mountains had tremendous detremental effect on
hurricanes, not this time per the forecast.

I live more than 300 miles from the TX shoreline, and am over 800 feet above
sea level. I'm scared of hurricanes, their tornadoes, and the amount of
rain they can bring. You couldn't pay me enought to live in the New Orleans
drowning bowl. Yet, I still do that via taxes for other people.

Gas up your car, whether it needs it or not. Some of those oil rigs out in
the Gulf will be down for awhile. Consider this a safe form of oil price
speculation on my part.
