Gustav Arrives Pass Christian/Delisle, MS


31 August - 1800 local (CST) - First squall associated with Gustav has arrived in Pass Christian/Delisle MS. First gust measured with Kestrel 3000 at 15.9 kts before having to retreat inside from the heavy rain. Hail shaft evident to Southeast. Getting dark now so no more pictures till daybreak which is when we expect the heavier bands to begin coming in. gg

Yep- was our first weather from the storm. Today is even more exciting! We have had gusts to 60 and a major band is about to head through. May get hurricane strength gusts in this one. With the west northwestward turn and the expansion of the storm during its weakening will keep us in nasty weather all day and into the evening: gg
