18-wheelers, bulldozers and flat-bottom boats on the road to NOLA
Christine Romans
CNN Correspondent
I'm heading north-northwest from Baton Rouge on the leading edge of the outer bands of Gustav.
Gusty and sporadic sideways winds. Roads are deserted.
Lines of 18-wheelers loaded with CAT bulldozers and backhoes heading toward New Orleans.
Also, dozens of trucks marked "wildlife agent" towing flat-bottom boats. I am headed to a mega-shelter where we will bunk down with evacuees.
