"You did a great job!"
"No, YOU did a great job!"
When it made landfall in South Central Louisiana at 11:15 Monday morning, hurricane Gustav was a weak Category 2 storm, with winds reaching a top speed of 115 mph, and as it moved inland it rapidly lost strength. In New Orleans, winds barely reached 60 miles per hour. The storm surge, although large in some areas of the storm's path, was moderate in the city. Water leaked over the tops of the levee in New Orleans' Ninth Ward, but it was not enough to cause any real flooding. Even the rains, which were thought to have flooding potential, were relatively mild.
