HAVANA Aug 28, 2006 (AP)— Tropical Storm Ernesto hit Cuba west of the U.S. naval air base at Guantanamo on Monday after killing one person Haiti as it stayed on track toward Florida, where forecasters expect it to strengthen into a hurricane.

Cuba ramped up emergency preparations before the fifth named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season moved ashore about 20 miles west of Guantanamo with top sustained winds dropping to 45 mph.

At 8 a.m. EDT, Ernesto was about 515 miles southeast of Key West, Fla., moving northwest at 12 mph.

Florida Gov. Jeb Bush declared an emergency, ordering tourists to evacuate the Florida Keys.

"We do expect it to reach the Gulf, maybe as a Category 1 hurricane, possibly a Category 2," said John Cangialosi, a meteorologist with U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami. "It's difficult to say where it will be, but in three days we're projecting it anywhere from the eastern Gulf near the Florida panhandle to the western Bahamas."

Ernesto became the Atlantic season's first hurricane on Sunday morning with maximum sustained winds of about 75 mph before weakening Monday. Read more...

As the storm grows closer to Florida, many survivors are holding their breath at the anticipation of what may very well be before them.

A year later, recovery in New Orleans not easy

Note:

Many people question who was a survivor and who wasn’t because of all the corruption after the hurricane, but take it from me being one of those survivor’s; what happened that fateful day for those of us who really went through that devastating storm will never forget.

And I am sure I as many other’s who for now are relocated whish the best for the Gulf Coast and like me and my husband, New Orleans, Louisiana with always be a place we called home.
