Gustav: Many Successes

Not another Katrina.
Gustav has become a boring, uneventful storm; although this isn't for not trying.

City and State officials are applauding the efforts of many of the City, State and Federal agencies for executing a successful evacuation and subsequent  support, repairs and security of New Orleans and the surrounding areas.  

Gustav could have been a terrible disaster. Fortunately, an evacuation was implemented early enough to mobilize an entire city. 
The lesson is: Evacuate and remove the human element; without the human element the only damage that will occur will be to property. One family who stayed suffered to loss of two due to a fallen tree. Avoid the possibility of this happening and leave as early as you can.

Update:
St. Tammany: Do not return yet. You will be turned back. 9/2, 12:26
Covington: Mayor orders evacuation, Bayou Falaya is rising.
