Gustav Information Center
I'm scrambling to get this group up and running. You'll see below I'm experimenting with some Twitter aggregators, and hope to settle on the most efficient system in the next few hours. @johntynan of KJZZ public radio is working with me to get some twitter accounts up and running, so twitter users can receive gustav news, alerts, blog posts, etc via twitter as well. I've also added a Flickr stream of content tagged gustav to the left.
WEB SITE: http://gustav08.ning.com/
Soon this site will aggregate content from a variety of sources, including Flickr, Twitter, YouTube, Utterz, Technorati, etc. If you're creating any content related to Gustav, please tag it gustav so we'll be able to aggregate it here. Thanks!

We have a lot of community members in harms way right now. We need to do what we can to prepare. Please do what you can to help.
ReplyDeleteMy sister and her husband live in New Orleans. He works at a hospital and has to stay. He was "mandated" to.
ReplyDeleteI will be getting a lot of updates, I suspect. I hope. I'll let you know anything when I can.
This is horrible. It's making my tummy hurt.
Right now it is looking very bad. It is now to 140mph winds right now but it is quite probably that by this time tomorrow we will be looking at a Cat 5 since it just left Cuba into the Gulf.
ReplyDeleteBe safe.
