That is good to hear... My DH is sleepin like a baby, only wakes up every two hours and cries about having to load the woodstove in the middle of the night, because the Tennesee gas pipeline might get totally "smushed" from all this.
Believe me, I am not dissing Freepers by posting this, but no one is thinking about the long term consequences of this total disaster yet...
All right, already. You've rung that bell three times.
Why don't you write a position paper on it and get back to the rest of us in the morning?
New Orleans is going to have longer term effects on the country. Houston's going to get messed up and Galveston is going to be beat pretty bad, but casualties will be extremely low and since everyone had plenty of time to get out, we're not going to have a new SuperFund site when the storm leaves.
The TN gas pipeline isn't likely to have problems anyway. That comes out of North Texas.

I am. I remember when Katrina came in weaker than expected and there was this idea for a little while that nothing much had happened. Shep summed it up. I think some bad things are happening tonight. We won't find out for a little while.
And there is just common sense that this is going to put us in a world of trouble energy wise. We will not forget Katrina, and we will not forget Rita.
