GUSTAV WINDS HAVE HIT 150 MPH, and it has made landfall in Cuba. Brendan Loy has the scoop. Looks like the Cayman Islands -- hit this morning when Gustav was barely over hurricane strength -- dodged a bullet. Cuba isn't so lucky; let's hope others in the path have better luck.
Meanwhile, news on preparations in New Orleans, and video, at the Times-Picayune site.
UPDATE: Actually, Little Cayman was hit harder than initial reports suggested, and -- to a lesser degree -- so was Cayman Brac. British warships are arriving to provide relief.
