September 2, 2008 More damage photos
September 1, 2008 First photos of west end damage at 5 pm Damage at my house->
Heading west, looking at the bay side, then we turned around and came back up shooting the south beach.
11 pm conditions This is the peak. Water will be going down rapidly. POA Park-> Working Waterfront-> Salt Creek area-> At Desoto Landing-> 8 am conditions Ferry Landing-> New construction near Tyson Realty-> Public Beach-> Salt Creek-> From the Golf Course-> August 31, 2008 4 pm conditions. The first feeder band nicked us.
Instant gale. Note sand blowing off a wet beach and camera men
running for cover->
Around 11 pm, seas are swelling up some and the southeast winds are just starting up.
Two Hurricane Hunters, one flying east to west, the other
north to south-> _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ August 30, 2008 NWS has moved their track a little bit more west, but as of this writing, Gustav is now a cat 4 storm and is approaching the Island of Youth in Cuba. Should enter the Gulf later tonight and start shoving waves our way. High pressure in the Gulf is subsiding somewhat and may not push the storm to the west as I thought for the past few days. Time will tell.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________ August 27, 2008 I actually started entering info from Gustav because it appears we may have to deal with the storm itself, of the high surf conditions and large waves. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ It will be interesting to see if these models can bend the storm into accuracy. Notice both model guesses, then look at the track history. It is easy to tell that the storm has not made that 90 degree bend to the left to catch up with the models. If you look at the track history, it has not shown anything like the bend to the left that they keep predicting.
