You know what would be a real kick in the balls? Let us say, just for fun, that another storm suddenly forms in the Atlantic like Katrina did. Let's say that it starts heading for the US coast. Let's make it even more fun by imagining what would happen if the thing threatened a major city, like New Orleans, as a catagory four or five.
Now, know that during evacuations here in Tampa, gasoline completely dissapears. As in all grades of gas go away as people flood up the interstate and rush to fill generators. In 2004, even with good supplies, people found themselves stranded on the road while they were trying to get the hell out of town.
What do you think would happen, with the current pipeline problem, if the weather decides to take another swipe in the coming weeks?
The number of dead in Gulfport and New Orleans would suddenly be insignificant.
