The storm was over the southern Bahamas as of mid-day Wednesday and expected to hit US Southeast coastal areas within days. Further, the activities of about 70 wing airmen who were providing search-and-rescue support in the aftermath of Hurricane Gustav were temporarily suspended. In the interim, geographically separated wing members at Davis-Monthan AFB, Ariz., are in position at Ellington, Tex., to provide SAR in the areas affected by Gustav. (Patrick report by Capt.
