Residents look at a fallen tree in Pinar Del Rio in the aftermath of Hurricane Gustav August 31, 2008. Gustav moved into the oil-rich Gulf of Mexico on Saturday where it was expected to strengthen and threaten New Orleans after its 150 mile per hour (240 kph) winds cut a swath of destruction through western Cuba.
