This is Pics of Hurricane Gustav!
The storm that crashed ashore as a Category 2 hurricane had by late Monday been downgraded to a tropical storm with maximum sustained winds of 60 mph.
Roofs were torn from homes, trees toppled and roads flooded. A ferry sunk. More than 1 million homes were without power. And the extent of any damage to the oil and gas industry was unclear.
Gustav blew ashore around 9:30 a.m. near Cocodrie (pronounced ko-ko-DREE), a low-lying community 72 miles southwest of New Orleans.
Forecasters had feared a catastrophic Category 4 storm on the 1-to-5 scale, but Gustav weakened as it drew close to land, coming ashore with 110 mph winds. It quickly dropped to a Category 1 as it steamed inland toward Texas.
Late Monday, Gustav's center was located about 20 miles southwest of Alexandria, lumbering northwest at about 13 mph. Forecasters expect the storm to weaken further to a tropical depression on Tuesday as it moves toward northeastern Texas. Storm surge flooding was expected to continue to subside overnight.
A 27-year-old Lafayette, La., man was killed when a tree fell on his house as the storm whipped through, and an Abbeville, La., couple were killed when a tree fell on a home in Baton Rouge. Before arriving in the U.S., Gustav was blamed for at least 94 deaths in the Caribbean.
Gustav was quickly marching inland, reducing the prospect of heavy rain in southern Louisiana. But the storm is expected to slow down as it heads into Texas and possibly into Arkansas, and could bring 20 inches of rain to those areas.
In Mississippi, at least three people had to be rescued from the floodwaters. An abandoned building in Gulfport collapsed, a few homes in Biloxi were flooded, and the ground floor of the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino on Biloxi's casino row was swamped with 2 1/2 feet of water. Katrina smashed the casino three years ago shortly before it was to open.
In New Orleans, many trees, light poles, traffic lights and signs had been blown down, and debris was strewn across the streets. But there was no flooding or major damage, and the storm brought only 3 inches of rain or less to the city. Police reported just two arrests.
