Update: Hurricane Gustav hit southern Haiti today, threatening to become an "extremely dangerous" storm as it heads toward Cuba and takes aim at states along the U.S. Gulf Coast. See Hurricane Gustav computer models at Weather Underground.

Hurricane Gustav topped Google Hot Trends today with related results (Hurricane Gustav Tracking, Projected Path of Hurricane Gustav) found throughout the Top 100 most searched terms.

With current maximum sustained winds of 85 mph, Gustav could develop into a Category 2 hurricane later today and a “major” Category 3 or 4 storm by the end of the week, according to AccuWeather forecasters. (View the projected path of Hurricane Gustav from the National Weather Service.)

Forecasters warned Gustav's eye could pass near the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince, home to nearly 3 million people.

To avoid the storm, Carnival Cruise Lines diverted one of its ships today to a Mexican port instead of Montego Bay, Jamaica.

Crude oil prices rose today as Hurricane Gustav threatened major oil operations in the Gulf of Mexico, home to more than a fifth of U.S. oil production.
