Wind damage like Hurricane "Andrew"

Hurricane "Gustav" just passed Cuba, and just barely noticed. It can't be good in western Cuba this morning. This brings up a reminder that "Katrina" was a surge event primarily, due to her unusually large size. This appears to not only be a surge threat, but if it comes in as a Cat 4 (or stronger, since the intensity models continually stink), we will probably see wind damage like south Dade county saw from "Andrew", some of which could get the western blurbs of NOLA.
