Photos of Gustav

By Andrew Walsh on Monday, September 1, 2008.

Word of Mouth took a short holiday today to observe Labor Day, but we've been keeping our eyes and ears on the Gulf Coast, where millions of residents evacuated their homes and towns to escape Hurricane Gustav. So far, the damage to the region hasn’t been as bad as some had feared, but the storm isn’t over yet. We wish everyone in the area our best wishes and hopes of a speedy return to daily life.

Some residents fleeing the hurricane or watching it approach have been posting images to the photo-sharing website Flickr. Some document anticipation and early destruction, some offer messages of strength and unity, others show highways filled with vehicles heading inland.

We’ve posted some photos below. Click here for all photos tagged with the term “Gustav”.
