Hopefully they can get help.
Here in Nashville flood damaged businesses like mine are outta luck except maybe SBA 4% loans
not FEMA
not jack...just a buncha hype
course they can sue BP
I can’t sue shite unless I can locate the rain God.
Did y’all not get declared a disaster area?
sure we did...that doesn’t do anything for business but possibly loans
FEMA relief is for homeowners and perosnal property relief
Metro Government thru the TN Water Management folks shut all car washes in Davidson county...even though they can buy needed waters from surrounding systems
we are the only non essential user closed...we use maybe 1/10th of one percent collectivley
3 weeks now....35,000 dollars and counting
scary when a government can act so arbitrarily with no footing in logic
this weekend they are opening two waterworld parks and have instituted lawn washing again
If as many bad things had happened to Berkeley, I’d probably be making the same comment.
how familiar are you with New Orleans?
bad things have happened plenty to other places..
LA, Miami Manhattan and so forth
wrath?
I'm referring to scientific studies that have actually examined the physical evidence of long-term oil spill effects. Go look at the links I've posted. And stop getting your "facts" from the network news or propaganda by green nutcases.
Well long term you might be right.
I guess what I have been so fearful of is a total wellhead failure down there before they get it under control. A total wellhead failure possibility raises fears of the worst case scenario for me and many.
Either way the Gulf Coast from Texas to Florida could be severely damaged for at least a couple of years the way its going right now.
Certainly a reasonable if very low probability thing to be afraid of. But every day that passes lessens that probability, as the existing hardware continues to hold up. And last I heard, the fraction of oil in the continuing emission is decreasing, shifting to more natural gas.
"Either way the Gulf Coast from Texas to Florida could be severely damaged for at least a couple of years the way its going right now."
Not at all likely. The total coastline thus far involved is a grand 34 miles, out of probably 10,000. There is NO indication that the spill is moving toward Texas at all.
“we’ll be 25 to 30 years, if ever, recovering from this.”
No way.
This isn’t Alaska; temps are warm in the gulf areas, I would guess that nature will get rid of this quickly.
Nope
“Coast Guard officials said Saturday the spill’s impact now stretches across a 150-mile swath, from Dauphin Island, Ala., to Grand Isle, La.”

I'll say it again. LOOK AT A MAP, and put things into perspective.
