CHARLOTTE, N.C.-- Relief workers from the Charlotte area are keeping their eyes on Gustav and Hannah; The next storm heading that way. They already have their hands full after the remnants of Tropical Storm Fay dumped nearly a foot of water in Cabbarrus and Mecklenberg counties.

Red Cross volunteers spent the day at the former Merchandise Mart, now called "The Park" on Independence Boulevard helping nearly 300 Charlotte families flooded out of their homes from the remnants of Fay which struck Tuesday and Wednesday.

More than 450 families in Mecklenburg County alone were displaced because of that storm, mostly in East Charlotte along Briar Creek. But, as these workers try to help Charlotteans, others are preparing to leave for Gulf Coast where Gustav is expected to come ashore Monday.

The local Red Cross's  new "Emergency Communication Response Vehicle" and the more familiar "Emergency Response Vehicle" -- used to feed evacuees -- are expected to leave some time this weekend.  The Red Cross says this one-two punch of Fay and Gustav, and maybe even Hannah, is a lot for volunteers to respond to all in a row.  "It's all hands on deck. Everybody that we have available on my staff are working this weekend and we have lots of volunteers who are working.  Our volunteers are just incredible.  They'll drop everything on a holiday weekend like this to help other people," says Pamela Jefsen with the American Red Cross. The Red Cross is calling for at least 3000 volunteers nationwide to respond to Gustav. Folks who need help in Charlotte can still get it Sunday from one to six, and then nine to six Monday through Friday until no longer needed.
