A hurricane again, Gustav plows toward Caymans by Paulina Neshybova

Three years after hurricane Katrina appeared another hurricane. Now it is Gustav,who once again became hurricane on Friday as it moves towards Caymans. After that it continue towards the U.S. Gulf Coast and it was labled as a storm of category number 3.
In Carribean, Gustav have killed so far 71 people, and it expects to to cross Kuba and after that reach the Gulf of Mexiko by Sunday.
On Cayman islands the tourist were told to leave hotels,but those who did not were sheltered by the airport. And victims of the last hurricane Katrina in Mississipi who are still living only in the emergency cottages were again told to leave. Some of the poeple were even awaiting the storm in the gyms of high schools.

In Jamaica, gurricane Gustav killed around 4 people, 59 were killed in Haiti and 8 in Domenican republic. Of course, government sent rescue helicopters to those who were trapped by the storm.
The forecaster expect Gustav to hit most likely New Orleans, but it could as weel hit anywhere from Florida to Texas.
It could became a major hurricane when it raches the coast of Cuba. And meanwhile, another storm ar hurricane called Hanna should appear next week on Bahams. So for sure, around 80 percent of the oil production in the Gulf of mexico will be shut because of the storm. Hundreds of workers were evacuated from their platforms. The prices of oil therefore rose for the first time in last 43 days and their price could became $5 a gallon.
In Louisiana, president Bush declared emergency, so the government could help in the areas where it will be hit by Gustav.
