Along with the usual threats with a Category-4- possible Category-5 hurricane- Gustav and his slow movement once he gets inland will produce tremendous rainfall amounts.
Here are one weather model estimates of rainfall along Gustav's path through a 7-day period.
The red areas are 40-centimeters or amounts of rain greater than 15-inches.
These flooding rains will be found from northeast to southeast of the center of Gustav's landfall- probably over Mississippi- parts of Louisiana and Arkansas.
