Guys, remember that when Katrina hit it was east of New Orleans and New Orleans was fine.
the problem came when the water surge broke the levees and that is what caused the problem.
This time its 10 times worse.
you see Gustav is on the west side of New Orleans which puts New Orleans on the stronger side of the hurricane and where the worse rains are coming so the canals going through town are not going to be able to sustain all that water and the flooding can potentially be worse than Katrina's.

the aftermath of the flood is what caused all those contracts to come in for WEGI so the run up I would think is still coming based on that.
Don't forget that Baton Rouge the Capital of the state is also going to be on the east side of the storm so it can potentially get just as bad damage with both the winds and flooding as well.
