Top News #1 Revised

In the San Jose Mercury website, I read the article, A Glancing Blow. As the thought of another hurricane to hit the recuperating Louisiana makes everyone feel uneasy. The forecasted predictions did not seem to be very promising from the already improving state. People were taking every precaution; evacuating and going to shelters. A sigh of relief came to the people of Louisiana when the hurricanes status became less severe than previously predicted.

The timeliness and proximity of this event happening so close to when Katrina last happened took a toll of the people of Louisiana, finding that there might be another hurricane as devastating if not more than Katrina, and having a state still hurting from the past carnage that Katrina did and finding that Gustav might do the same gave the state a sense of urgency to evacuate.
