Yes it will, and it also affects our international business partners. Lots of US production exits for foreign destinations via NOLA, and in many cases, the lack of shipment will prevent the folks in foreign countries from doing their planned business, too.
In case this hasn't been posted, or even if it has, here it is again (for a N.O. perspective):

Houston Astrodome, shelter of last, last resort.
Maybe Texas can annex La. after this.
Now, now...Uncle Ben says, "Think happy thoughts!"
If true, this is where the media is an awful failure. Direct the woman to any hospital in the area, they cannot refuse her treatment; not to mention the free clinics that are in all areas anymore.
Your welcome....
Our prayers in OH go out to those truly suffering....
It's now working on picking up a family from a rooftop in an area where the first floors of the houses are flooded.
Just saw three busses from American First Charter w/ police escort getting off Gulf Fwy (I-45). I wonder if this is some of the folks from NOLA.
Ah, yes............LOL!
Michael Chertoff. He's the Head of Homeland Security now.
I guess I'm having trouble understanding that. Most of the flooding we've seen in New Orleans proper has been not even to the first floor of houses, and it's come up (fairly) slowly--slow enough for people to make it to roofs and upper floors, even to shelters like the Superdome by the thousands. We're not talking a thirty-foot water hammer like what scoured Mississippi and St. Bernard and Plaquamines clean. How would hundreds, maybe thousands, die in New Orleans? Is Nagin prone to being melodramatic or is he serious here?
This is incomprehensible. A disaster that's just too big to get one's head around.

Them NOCAL guys are good. And I say that as a person who follows wildland fire really closely...
I can't believe a smart senator and a congressman don't hold a joint press conference and say they are cutting THEIR vacation short to file legislation for immediate consideration to open ANWR to drilling. Demand a fast track vote and get everyone on record while prices are so high. It is time to think and act like a majority.
I wish they would activate hubbys NG unit here in Il...we have Chinooks and Blackhawks just sitting here...
This is where the strength of our nation will show. I have suspected from the start that the losses would be substantial. I really do pray I am wrong.
" Side note: identifying bodies will be difficult or impossible. I"
If no id is found on a corpse, I would assume dental records are the only way.
If they have "Evacuation" on the front, they're definitely them. Timeline would be pretty close to right if they hustled.
Are you in Houston ??
DNA matching with family members too.
I would like to see an executive order curbing unnecessary travel
Can you tell my wife that so I can kick back one weekend
