New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin ordered a mandatory evacuation of the city beginning at 8 a.m. Sunday but urged residents to flee now. "You need to be scared," Nagin said as Hurricane Gustav roared into the Gulf of Mexico with 150 mph sustained winds. "And you need to get your butts moving out of New Orleans right now."
Gustov has passed Cuba, is at category 4, and is forecast to top out at 155 MPH winds tomorrow. Category5 the top of the Safir Simpson scale is >155 MPH winds. This is a Katrina like storm ironically landing near the same place as Katrina.
