Hurricane Gustav Make New Orleans A Ghost Town

Hurricane Gustav which has now weakened to Category One hurricane is moving inland from the US Gulf coast, bearing down on the Louisiana community of Opelousas which brings heavy rains.

In New Orleans, the city's levees are holding surging floodwaters, although sea levels could still rise further. Some two million people have fled inland from the Louisiana coast. Gustav, which had left nearly 90 people dead last week as it crossed the Caribbean, made landfall west of New Orleans on Monday.
