Nice to see you here, PC ... and adding my prayers for you. Hang in there, FRiend ;).
Not good.
Its sort of a "shoot first, ask questions later" kind of thing.
I bid everyone a good night, and continued prayers for all in Harm's way.
I have been saying for some time, that our refining capacity was woefully inadequte. Every time one refinery has problems, there's a severe spike in prices. For national security, that should not be the case.
A national security issue doesn't have to invole the military or an attack. The NO situation is a national security issue. A large region is in trouble, and transportation capabilities are integral to people's safety.
We need to get off the pot and start building up our fuel capacity.
For now, my body is weary but my soul is rested.
Are you sure it isn't that you want all the glory of doing the Monday HAT thread?

WWL "I-10 is still a sea of headlights" 15mph speeds. This according to Texas officials.
But you ARE a realist!
Nighty night...I think I'll take a break and just pray for everyone in the path of Katrina.
Oklahoma is Oklahoma. Even Democrats can be good. Boren(I think) for instance. A man qualified to be president but the national Democrats would never consider him .
People do what they do for their own reasons. That's the way it should be. I believe at some point they will be on their own during the storm. That said, people in rescue jobs know the risks. When it comes to your immediate survival though who knows best? You or the government?
AL or steel?
The stadium itself covers 13 acres. It reaches 27 stories at its peak, forming the world's largest steel construction room unobstructed by posts, filling more than 125 million cubic feet (38 million cubic meters). Some 20,000 tons (19,000 metric tons) of steel and 150,000 cubic yards (118,500 metric yards) of concrete were required for its construction.
Re: Green Lightning....
Found this at http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/oct98/908234034.Es.r.html
Here's what Jaff Waldstreicher, Science and Operations Officer for the Binghamton, NY NWS Office told me:
"On rare occasion, the sky can appear to have a greenish tinge during a thunderstorm. That is, in most if not all cases, an excellent sign that the storm contains hail, and probably large hail. The greenish color is caused by light (either sunlight, or in some instances the light of a lightning flash), refacting off the large ice particles (chunks?) suspended in the storm. I saw this in 2 different storms on May 31st of this year, and received hail (in West Corners, NY) during both of them (1.5" in diameter from the first one, which produced the tornado further south - we have received numerous reports of 2-2.5" hail across Broome County, NY from this storm, and as large as 4" in diameter in the Deposit, NY area)."
Hey, you left out sandspurs and boiling hot asphalt.
They are just for show
