Jeff Masters' advice from yesterday:

With Gustav likely to bring tropical storm force winds to the city by Monday afternoon, that means that tonight is a good time to start evacuating--Saturday morning at the latest.

A BTW-

If I remember correctly, the first thing Wal Mart in NW AR ran out of in the week after Katrina
was water, limes, tortillas, sugar.

And Shell stations were the first to have plastic bags over the
pump handles.

Good t'hear y'all were prepared in the tequila department! :)
