Hurricane Gustav

This image was taken last night. We were feeling the outer bands of Hurricane Gustav. I have to stress though, it wasn't anything horrible. Just wind and loads of rain, not too unlike our average summer storms. We've gotten more rain from Gustav than we did from Fay, in which our office closed for Fay. The storm has moved a bit further to the west, so while we are still experiencing some wind, we've not had as much rain as was predicted. The storm has now slowed down to 125mph winds, which is still pretty devastating. The good news is New Orleans seem more prepared this time round...

This was taken yesterday, when it pretty much rained all day. It was forecast to rain all day today, but we haven't had too much. It looks like coastal Sarasota has probably seen more rain today. We've just heard that the winds have gone down another 5 miles per hour, fingers crossed for the people in the path that this trend will continue...
