Above is the forecast path to what will be a major hurricane. Hurricane Gustav is hitting Haiti right now, however as soon as it moves off the coast, it is expected to stay over warm Caribbean water and is therefore expected to rapidly strengthen, and explode into a major hurricane. That's not good at all. It is then forecast to enter the Gulf of Mexico Saturday and continue to strengthen. We are potentially looking at a Category 5, the strongest there is, churning in the Gulf. As you see, the forecast has it aimed straight for the oil rigs of the Gulf coast. If Gustav, as forecasted, hits them with such stregnth, our gas prices will easily skyrocket to and possibly over the $5 a gallon range. Right now gas is $3.46 a gallon.
