New Orleans was spared the kind of unmitigated disaster that was Hurricane Katrina this time around . Gustav 's winds caused some damage and flooding occurred , but since it was a less powerful storm than Katrina the levees held . Our attention now remains in the Atlantic , where three tropical systems ( Hanna , Ike and Josephine ) are gaining power . It seems as if Hanna may be a nuisance to this area by the weekend , although I hope not since we only have two weekends of summer left this year . We had a nice Labor Day weekend . OPTIONS:
- It struck during Labor Day weekend .
- It did some damage , but not anything severe .
- It was an unmitigated disaster .
- None of the above choices .

A: What may be a plausible fact about hurricane Gustav ?

He was only planning on staying one day , but he wound up staying a whole week- and at the end of the week asking her to marry him . OPTIONS:

The last semester I was enrolled in ( Fall of 2007 ) my father paid my tuition in advance , again to keep my classes while the Financial Aid department took their sweet time putting my loan through , which I suspect got lost just like my current loan . The woman working at the Bursar that time told my father that the loan would still be processed and that he would receive a refund check in the mail for the amount he paid on his credit card . The interest rates on credit cards , as you must know , are much higher than that of a Federal Stafford loan . OPTIONS:
- Their father paid their tuition in advance
- They needed help paying for their college
- They paid for college with a credit card
- None of the above choices .

A:
Why did they take out a loan ?
