Gustav a Major Category 3 Hurricane

Gustav is now a major Category 3 hurricane with 125 mph winds! His pressure was reported earlier this morning by the Hurricane Hunters to be 954 mb. A new plane surveying the storm right now so we should have a good idea if Gustav continues to strengthen or level off. Forecast track has not changed much and it is still possible Gustav becomes a major category 4 hurricane in the south Gulf Of Mexico on Sunday. .. he could even be a 4 before making landfall in Cuba.. Breathtaking images below.. yet quite scary.
