Three years ago today, Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast. Residents are now preparing for another potentially massive hurricane, as Gustav barrels toward the U.S. mainland with winds up to 75 miles per hour. The storm has already claimed 75 lives as it ripped through the Caribbean. Is New Orleans ready for Hurricane Gustav?

Hurricane Gustav

Gustav is weakening, and didn't become the monster storm predicted. Of course, it's still been a Cat2 hurricane, so there will be damage and destruction.
