Hurricane Gustav's Track and What Has Been Predicted

We sit and we wait as Hurricane Gustav heads toward what one could only hope will still be their home after the storm blows through. Many are wondering about Hurricane Gustav's track and where it will be heading. The national weather center had reported only moments ago that Hurricane Gustav's track is headed toward the Gulf of Mexico, as reported by the Jamaica Observer.

Hurricanes are every bit as scary as they sound, and those who may be living though Hurricane Gustav should listen to the news as often as they can for updates.

Here are a few hurricane survival tips:

* Hurricanes have massive winds and can tear through a house in a matter of seconds. If you are facing the event of a hurricane like Gustav you should listen for updates on vacating the area or for where the hurricane is headed.

* There is no exact way of telling where a hurricane could hit but they usually give a pretty accurate location. To be on the safe side, if I was in the surrounding areas I would also leave if there has been a warning to vacate the area.

* In the event that you are not able to vacate the area along with everyone else you should at least pack a safety bag and know where you should seek cover if the hurricane hits. Having a plan will help you to keep yourself safer.

Every year, people die from hurricanes like Gustav and you should keep this in mind when you are trying to make the decision to follow everyone or to stay in the area.

Hurricane Gustav track can not be fully determined, but with all the technology that is available they can tell you approximately where the hurricane will hit and approximately how strong it will be.

As of right now, weather services are predicting Hurricane Gustav will be close to a category 3 hurricane. A hurricane is dubbed as such when it reaches winds of 70 miles per hour. Here in Oklahoma, it isn't unusual to get winds that high throughout the year, but I couldn't imagine having it in the form of a hurricane.
