Tropical Storm (Soon To Be Hurricane) Gustav Update

It looks like Gustav is headed our way and will hit as at least a Cat 3, and maybe a Cat 4, so we may be without power for some time next week, perhaps starting Monday afternoon.

From the Office of Public Affairs, Louisiana State University

Due to the threat posed by Tropical Storm Gustav, LSU will be closed on Tuesday, Sept. 2.  The LSU Paul M. Hebert Law Center and the LSU Agricultural Center Baton Rouge offices will also be closed.  AgCenter offices from other parishes should follow their own parish Office of Emergency Preparedness guidelines.

LSU officials will continue to monitor the storm and a decision on whether or not the university will reopen on Wednesday, Sept. 3, will be made accordingly. The decision about Wednesday will be announced through the news media, broadcast e-mail and the LSU Web site at www.lsu.edu.

LSU’s Web site will be continually updated with the latest information, and LSU’s emergency hotline number, 1-800-516-6444 or 578-INFO (4636), will also be kept up-to-date.

Loyola New Orleans Law School is closed. Tulane University Law School is closed. Southern University Law Center is closed. You can also check here for B.R., New Orleans, and general Louisiana information.
