Photojournalism: Hurricane Gustav

These are the photos from Hurricane Gustav. The first 18 images are of the preparations. Mostly you'll see boarded up windows. One image has which window each board belongs on. Apparently this family does this often and have the system down. I'll keep snapping photos and try to update when i get some good ones. I have twitter set up on my phone, so if the power goes out, I'll still be making updates. You can see that up in the right hand corner.

Dawn is uploading videos, she's putting them all on her blog as she gets them.

UPDATE (12PM): It's just a little windy with some rain. The eye is about 9 hours away, though.The still camera isn't really that good at capturing the wind, and that's about all we have right now as of about noon on Monday.

UPDATE 2 (2PM): The wind is really picking up! We saw our first bit of damage. A satellite dish flew off the roof and a gutter got ripped off the other building.

UPDATE 3 (6PM): The hurricane is over. We're venturing out for some photos.

UPDATE 4 (Tuesday @ 4): Just got back from New Iberia for some photos. Uploaded them to CNN and the guy from CNN called me, they might put them on TV!
