Downgraded To A Category 2!!

YES!

Gustav has been downgraded to a category 2 hurricane.

That still isn't good for New Orleans, I pray that the levees hold. I heard on the news that they're still expecting torrential rains and seven to ten foot storm surges. That can't be a good thing for those old levees.

I was pleased to see that the Republicans took this hurricane more seriously, delegates went home to handle their business. A convention is NOT as important as human lives. When a hurricane hits, it's not "business as usual".

Glad to see that lesson was learned with Katrina.
