Tropical Storm Gustav with winds 60 mph just south of Cuba could hit one of the Gulf states as
cat 4 or 5 hurricane this weekend or next week!
Gustav intensified rapidly from 30 mph winds to a strong tropical storm in just a few short hours.
An Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft measured a surface pressure of 996 mb at the center.
Top winds at the aircraft's flight level of 2200 feet were hurricane force, 74 mph.
