There's some wind out there. But not very much. No rain. The wind is coming almost directly from the north, maybe a little northeast. The cicadas are now quiet. There's only the sound of the wind. Without the sound of cars and people and air conditioners the city seems like a serene wilderness on the brink of a storm, on the brink of hurricane Gustav.
Gustav is presently a category three, 115 mph sustained winds variety hurricane. The predicted track is roughly unchanged. The storm is expected to make landfall by 6 AM tomorrow. It's going to get shitty in the hours up to then.
I'm going to bed soon. Probably wake early. I hope to get some rest. I got a message from a friend that it took 14+ hours to make a normally 5 hour trip to Birmingham from New Orleans. Wow!
