Shrimp boat operators dock in a shallow water creek near Ocean Springs, Mississippi, August 30, 2008 to protect their boats from the storm surge of Hurricane Gustav. A ferociously powerful Hurricane Gustav roared across western Cuba with 150-mile-per-hour (240 km per hour) winds on Saturday, smashing buildings and flattening fields as it surged toward the oil fields of the Gulf of Mexico and New Orleans on the U.S. Gulf Coast.
