re: I'm willing to bet our new FEMA doesn't have even the sketchiest plan to deal with that.

I doubt it.

Mixed reviews on Rita... pretty good unanimity on the path (for this far out), but disagreements on the strength. My guess is that, after Katrina, they will over-react and close the refineries even if it appears the storm is going to peter out of go somewhere else.

That's the thing with hurricanes... you can't act on the assumption that everyone is going to be a Katrina (a 40 year storm), or the hugely expensive evacuations would kill the local economies.
