Deadly Gustav wreaks havoc New Orleans on high alert Gustav triggers fatal landslide Tropical storm hits Haiti Gustav on track to hit Cuba

Miami - Forecasters at the National Hurricane Centre in Miami say Gustav has again strengthened into a hurricane.

At around 15:15 on Friday, data showed the Category 1 storm had top sustained winds of around 121 kilometres per hour, and was still on track to hit near the Cayman Islands, Cuba, and later, somewhere along the Gulf Coast.

Gulf Coast states are watching the storm carefully. Mississippi is telling coastal residents hit by Hurricane Katrina three years ago to evacuate this weekend, and Grand Isle, Louisiana residents also are under a voluntary evacuation order.
