This is crazy. Satellite Picture of Hurricane Gustav 2008 definitely looks like a bloody mayhem on Earth. While I’m sitting safely here in Canada, People down in New Orleans and whatever other area are affected are going through hell. Hurricane Gustav, the 2008 version of Hurricane Katrina hit the same area, however unlike Katrina, Hurricane Gustav did not leave Louisiana in a catastrophic state. The damages are still estimated at $12 billion, but at least the levees didn’t break flooding the whole city.

1.9 million people abandoned their homes in the Gulf Coast area to flee Hurricane Gustav. Many have already returned home, even though neighborhoods are quite devastated, many still without power.
