If the infamous Texas summer high-pressure ridge off the upper Texas coast holds and can work its way a bit farther east, it could flatten the western side of the hurricane enough to help NO. Sorry about Mississippi, though. We said prayers at church for the protection of the Gulf coast...and I said a silent prayer for the oil platforms! I can't imagine how high the oil and natural gas prices will go tomorrow. Meanwhile, CA sits blissfully hurricane and oil platform free, the selfish slackers.
It's part of our secret plan to have the world's only oil supply when everything else runs dry...
