Full Script Gustav bore down on the Louisiana and Texas coast as a Category 2 storm, with winds of more than 100 miles an hour. It hit three years and three days after Hurricane Katrina. The storm's eye made landfall this morning west of New Orleans after weakening overnight. Still, within hours, water was sloshing over floodwalls in the Industrial Canal near the Ninth Ward. That structure breached after Katrina. Officials from the Army Corps of Engineers said they were cautiously optimistic that the city's levees would hold. The winds have been gusting pretty strongly since dawn. The rain comes and goes. At the moment, though, it looks like the city has been spared any serious damage. Of course, that's what everybody thought immediately after Hurricane Katrina, and then the levees broke. Lt. Col. Jerry Sneed heads the city's department of homeland security. He says the danger isn't completely over yet. -- We have to get it past us before we can assess what's going on. Currently, it looks like very, very little damage. At present, I'm told about 50 percent of power is out in the city, but it seems like that's about it, no flooding, no levee breaks. Everything seems to be working out. But we've got to get it past us. We rode the storm out in the New Orleans neighborhood of Audubon Park near Tulane University. -- I know of two families. Everybody else has left. Bill Ryan was one of the few holdouts here. -- It's remarkable, because there were so many more people here during Katrina. As Gustav was hitting, Ryan made the rounds checking on the homes of his neighbors who had evacuated. -- In Katrina, this whole thing was down. So I guess we're fortunate that we've only lost two parts of it. He also weathered Hurricane Katrina in 2005. -- So you feeling like maybe New Orleans has dodged a bullet? -- We know we've dodged a bullet. The question is, we were worried about a bomb. President Bush traveled to Texas to monitor the storm from an emergency operations center in Austin, about 400 miles west of where the storm hit the Louisiana coast. -- Texas has evacuated 10,000 of our special needs citizens. He was briefed by officials, and lauded the unprecedented cooperation among agencies, and thanked the evacuees directly. -- It's hard for a citizen to pull up stakes and move out of their home and face the uncertainty that comes when you're not at home. And I want to thank those citizens who listened carefully to the local authorities.
