Hurricane Gustav

Hurricane Gustav wasnt bad as i thought it was going to be. The way the weather channel was hyping it up i thought i was going to be the worst hurricane ever. I packed all of my valuables, left my college which is close to the Gulf Coast, and went back to my home town. The great thing about this storm was that i had a chance to visit some family and friend back in my home town. I also enjoyed the extra day off we had out of school. Hurricane Gustav really had lots of people scared because it was suppose to be worser than Hurricane Katrina, which led to one of the worlds greatest tragedys. Gustav wasnt as affective as everyone thought it was going to be. It caused alot of damage but not to much that it caused people to be without family and loved ones, such as Katrina. I really do believe that the government did a great job getting all of the people who live on the Gulf Coast or near the coast to safe places and shelters. The governtment was really was focused on saving lives and not letting peolpe lose their lives. The most important thing of all was that Gustav wasnt as powerful as Katrina. If Gustav was that powerful many people would of been without homes, clothing, and seperated family. The city of New Orleans would of been damaged worse and the Gulf Coast surrounding areas as well. Gustav the Hurricane that wasnt that bad after all.
