Hurricane Gustav hit the U.S.A on the U.S. Gulf Coast and gradually moved inward. Hurricane Gustav was originally categorized as a level 2 hurricane but as it moved inland into Louisiana it degraded to a level 1 hurricane.
Over 90 people were killed as the eye of Hurricane Gustav passed over the Caribbean. West of New Orleans was hit by the worst of the storm but the damage wasn't as bad as the damage done by Hurricane Katrina 3 years ago. New Orleans population of 200,000 is now down to 10,000 as residents are fleeing the storm. The U.S. predicted the worst of Gustav but the damage was not as bad as they thought it would be. The evacuations turned out to be only needed as a drill and clean up of the city is taking place.
