Mayor Ray Nagin talked about how the city has held together and must

continue to do so in the face of future storms and adversity.

New Orleans is preparing for a possible hit from Gustav, which was at

tropical storm strength as of Friday morning. The National Guard has

begun moving into the city, and evacuation plans are being firmed up.

Gustav is projected to hit Louisiana early next week.
