On this date, National Headquarters of the Civil Air Patrol announced it had made preparations for the imminent landfall of Hurricane Gustav along the shores of the Gulf of Mexico.

An excerpt from CAP NHQ via WSFA-TV:
MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE, Ala. - As Hurricane Gustav moves closer to the Gulf Coast of the United States, Civil Air Patrol members are making preparations to safeguard CAP assets and preparing to respond to requests for assistance after the storm makes landfall.
Gustav is forecast to enter the Gulf of Mexico this weekend and it could impact the gulf states by early next week. The storm is projected to move in a northwesterly direction but it is too early to tell specifically where landfall will occur.
