Although Gustav has weakened below where they thought it would be there are still a lot of worry. The levees in New Orleans are getting pushed to the limit and the water is rising. There are also barges and ships that have broken loose and the authorities are trying now to keep them from breaching the levees.

I put this here because the Hurricane and the convention have become part of the same story and how the convention moves forward is completely dependent on what Gustav does.

EDIT - Water is currently lapping over the industrial canal in the lower 9th Ward.
