Mayor Ray Nagin is taking an aggressive approach to Hurricane Gustav in hopes that we won't have another Katrina tragedy. In addition to putting a dusk til' dawn curfew in affect, Mayor Nagin has also made a pledge that anyone caught steeling (like these above during Hurricane Katrina) will go straight to prison.
New Orleans ordered residents to evacuate as Hurricane Gustav swelled into a Category 4 storm that may strike the U.S. Gulf Coast harder than Katrina did three years ago.``Tonight you need to be scared; you need to get your butts out of New Orleans now,'' Mayor Ray Nagin said at a press conference late yesterday. ``This is the mother of all storms. I am not sure we have seen anything like it.''
