Hurricane Gustav

[Zirax]

I have been casually following this over the past few days with growing interest. Just the shear scale of this beast is something else.

Take a look at this video on bbc.

Now if Brown stood there and openly said "Get Out" backed up with my own research around the net and on weather sites, I sure as hell wouldn't be staying here. It seems that some people are.

I suppose the continual "you are gonna die" from tornado/earthquake/hurricane must have numbed some people. I've pulled up Katrina from wiki for you to have a look at

Now I am aware there is some ass covering going on here. However given the above, given its current strength, given that New Orleans is forecast to hit on the East side (the worst), given what happened when Katrina hit..... would you stay?
