Gustav 6pm: Cuba landfall August 30, 2008 at 6:25 pm
With winds of 150mph Hurricane Gustav just slammed into the coast of western mainland Cuba on its way toward the Gulf of Mexico and eventually the northern Gulf Coast.
Weather stations in the area seem to be pretty sparse so there’s not a lot of data on what’s actually happening at “ground zero”, but I imagine it’s pretty intense. I assume there might be news reports in a few hours.
Not a lot else that’s new to report.
