re: What hurricane?

The news is just starting to filter out. As I said before, it's at least a day or two before you can judge these things... the really bad areas are black zones.. no info in or out. And still this was much better than expected... it weakened dramatically before landfall, probably the start of an eye wall recycle, pure luck. And it took a jog east by a few degrees... essentially saving much of NO from devastation.


I was being flip. I had just heard that NO had been spared the worse and its oil refiners were in okay condition. Of course, there is no real word yet on the oil rigs out in the Gulf. They could be a mess.

As for NO, it best learn a lesson from this one and build up those levees. Given the worse case/doomsday scenario, I can not believe how complacent the city has been........the Big Easy notwithstanding. And if these over the top hurricanes are not just an aberration but the beginning of a new major hurricane cycle, they best get to work asap.
