There’s still a lot of speculation, even with just about 12 hours to go until landfall. First lets look at intensity starting with Weather Underground’s Dr. Jeff Masters who feels, “Given the recent improvement in Gustav’s organization, I believe that the storm has time to intensify into at least a Category 3 hurricane with 125-130 mph winds by landfall.

A very unusual storm. I don't trust any model at this point. Anything is possible, from another Katrina (for S. Florida at least), to a Hatteras howler, to a harmless fadeout at sea.
