Hurricane Ivan had huge affect on the platforms and undersea pipelines, and a big production hit that took about 9 months to repair. There are some pointers to this Ivan thing on the Boom Boom Room thread. New Orleans - after Key West, the worst place in the US to be in a Hurricane. There are so many people and so few roads out that evacuation would take more than 48-60 hours. There are a number of calculations showing that a Class 3 or higher Hurricane would hit with >100,000 people still in New Orleans, much of which is below sea level behind levees....some of the sceanarios have > 50,000 dead. And those aren't the worst case. I would expect most of those people you saw were aware of how bad it could be.
