Gustav to the Big Easy?
A major hurricane hitting New Orleans on the first day of the Republican convention?
It's too early to say, but the forecast looks increasingly ominous.
Full details and ongoing updates at Weather Nerd.
P.S. Already, the Democratic convention is being affected by Gustav, as New Orleans mayor -- and superdelegate -- Ray Nagin is leaving Denver to head back home and help the city prepare for a potential hit. "Nagin said he had been looking forward to being a witness to history Thursday night when Barack Obama accepts the Democratic presidential nomination the first African-American nominee of any major political party. But he said that there's no doubt in his mind that he needs to return to New Orleans quickly."
