It was horrible. I just pray for those poor people who don't have transportation. Where do they go?

Learn about the LOOP....If Katrina hits Louisana it will probably be gone...

Louisiana Offshore Oil Port

The Louisiana Offshore Oil Port (LOOP) is a deepwater port in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Louisiana near the town of Port Fourchon. LOOP provides tanker offloading and temporary storage services for crude oil transported on some of the largest tankers in the world. Most tankers offloading at LOOP are too large for U.S. inland ports. LOOP handles 13 percent of the nation's foreign oil and connects by pipeline to 35 percent of the U.S. refining capability.
