Hurricane Gustav smashed into Louisiana three days after the third anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. The Category 2 storm made landfall on September 1st about 9:30 am, just over 70 miles southwest of New Orleans, in Terrebonne Parish. With peak winds of over 90 miles per hour, Gustav was the third major storm to hit the state in three years [Katrina and Rita both came in 2005]. Dry air and the high speed [16 mph] of the storm helped weaken it to a Category 1 hurricane within a few hours. But Gustav was no weakling.
