I know we are outraged by the looters but imagine you were one of those store owners who evacuated and then saw your store getting robbed on national TV.... maybe even recognizze some of the people ripping you off. Isn't there a Federal Reserve Bank in New Orleans????
There is a branch of the Atlanta Fed in New Orleans.
I have been curious about implications of it being out (especially items in process).
For that matter, I am also curious about the rail situation, and if New Orleans being out is a significant impact on our railroad infrastructure.
