'Destruction here is worse than the tsunami' (S. Mississippi)
-snip-
Kim Riseth is one of those journalists. He works for a newspaper in Norway but is based in New York City. He has covered the war in Iraq, as well as the tsunami in Sri Lanki.
He and a photographer flew to Florida on Monday and droveto South Mississippi early Tuesday to write about the damage wrought by Katrina.
Riseth found his way to the Harrison County Courthouse after walking around surveying damage for several hours.
"The destruction here is worse than the tsunami," Riseth said at the Emergency Management Agency. "It's exactly the same thing I saw in Sri Lanka. The houses were smaller and not as strong as the ones here, but this place is totally destroyed about three blocks from the beach."

Gasoline and diesel standards temporarily relaxed!!! Yay!
Clean Air act has just been suspended for gas and diesel!!!

Kiss The Boutique Fuels G'Bye!!!!!
The oil speculators are about to take it in the rear!!!
Bwahahahahaha! Funny.
Perhaps there is a need for footwear amongst the refugees. I saw one picture of two small girls being offloaded from a helicopter. One girl was missing a flipflop. She needs a pair of shoes.
Walk through that kind of water, and it'll suck the sneakers right off your feet. Let's just decide that these policewomen are trying to help out the victims, and not stocking up on cheap azz dress shoes for themselves.
Yes. Let's get that loopy mayor out of the way and let that dud Blanco hide under her blanket. Encouraging to see the military move in. Looks like Bush is the only one who has done anything about this since Saturday.
Who's this guy in the red tie?
source?
Good news
IOW, no requirements for local blends for a while? That's excellent news. Somebody's thinking the right logistical thoughts.
For ALL state. Volatility in gasoline and sulfur in diesel fuel.
