Hurricane Gustav

Forecast Models - Tuesday 5 am

Gustav grew fast in the wee hours. The folks at the National Hurricane Center declared it a hurricane at 2 am this morning. Not just any hurricane, either. NHC:
MOST INDICATIONS ARE THAT GUSTAV WILL BE AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS HURRICANE IN THE NORTHWESTERN CARIBBEAN SEA IN A FEW DAYS.
Judging from the broad 5-day forecast map, after crossing Cuba Gustav is expected to threaten everybody from Cancun to Tampico to Brownsvills to New Orleans to Miami.

It can't make landfall every where, of course (T.S. Fay to the contrary notwithstanding) but Pensacola's in there somewhere.
