Maybe not. We'll keep our fingers crossed. Here's the NHC's updated track as of the 8:00 p.m. Eastern intermediate advisory:
This looks like the inland track has moved slightly north since the 4:00 p.m. update. I'd peg this as showing a weak tropical storm around Center, Texas, then turning sharply west into or south of Henderson as a tropical depression.
If it's correct.

man I hope this doesn't interfere with my schoolin. I'm particular about starting out a new semester. if I don't start out flawlessly my year goes to heck.
So I take it corrigans prob. gonna get whacked pretty good too, ugh.
I'm on duty as I type this (although with nothing to do at the moment..... so we've been "cut loose" temporarily.) We're expecting to receive evacuees way out here in El Paso as well, as we did with Katrina/Rita; though with the size of Gustav, we'll likely see more people coming in than we did 3 years ago.
We'll be ready.

All guns have at least two safeties. One's digital, one's cognitive. In other words - keep the digit off the trigger until ready to fire, and THINK. Some guns also have mechanical safeties on top of those. But if the first two don't work, the mechanical ones aren't guaranteed. - me

Probably Houston again. That's the best place for them, right?
I understand they were told not to come here

Now we wait I guess.
If you feel you need to head north, you know you've always got a place to stay with us.
Hmmmm...I have a question for those in the Houston area. My son just moved there and lives near the University of Houston law school. About 6-8 miles north east of it. He started classes this past week and wanted to study all weekend. I guess learning to be a lawyer is hard work. Is he OK in that area or should I demand he head up here for the Monday arrival of Gustav. You guys in the Houston area have any sense of what this thing is going to do? Yes...I am an over protective papa. I haven't found an 800 number to get any help yet...so my son and daughter just have to deal with it.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
its to early to know what is going to happen but as it stands he should be just fine thats somewhat inland and far from the projected path
you cant be too safe though
during Katrina more damage was caused by the evacuated personnel than the storm itself

Thank you. He was saying something similar to what you just said but he moved there from Austin about 4 weeks ago. I thought he may be lacking the experience to make a proper assessment. His only action so far has been to fill up with gas...LOL. I gave him my mag light last time I went down there or he wouldn't even have a flashlight. He is armed, so I guess if there is insurrection he will be prepared...LOL. He said his neighbor told him most of the heavy flooding from these things occurs south of where he is at. Just the same...thank you again. From looking at the tracking radars on it, they seem to feel pretty strong it is going to come ashore more towards Louisiana. I just needed to hear confirmation that his area wasn't going to float away.

Thank you KB. Yes I have several in that area that would offer us a bed & breakfast. uuhhh and dinner, & supper, & what ever we neded. I really dont think we are going to see anything but fuel short, (already) & power out. Hope there is no more dammage. We are like flint. There is still some trees being cut for fire wood that were blown over in Rita but still had root system enough to survive. THis on one of our members place. We had another about 3 weeks ago that ripped few more folks. Roof off a porch & some more timber down.
We will see.
Carry 24-7 or guess right.
