Gustav Continues To Strengthen

     Just a quick update, because I have to head to work. Tropical Storm Gustav was upgraded to a hurricane overnight, and is now nearing Category 2 strength. Currently sustained winds are at 90MPH with gusts up to 105MPH. Sustained winds have to reach 96MPH for Gustav to be a Category 2 Hurricane, this will likely happen over the next several hours prior to its landfall over Haiti. Minimum central pressure has also dropped down to 981 millibars. Stay tuned for further updates.

I am off to work!! Enjoy the day people!
