#2
Category 4 Hurricane (major)
Sustained Winds: 130-156 mph 113-136 kt 209-251 km/h
What to expect:
Catastrophic damage will occur: Well-built framed homes can sustain severe damage with loss of most of the roof structure and/or some exterior walls. Most trees will be snapped or uprooted and power poles downed. Fallen trees and power poles will isolate residential areas. Power outages will last weeks to possibly months. Most of the area will be uninhabitable for weeks or months.

#4 Remember the Colonial Pipeline Hack back in May 2021?
Colonial Pipeline, delivers about 45% (100M/Gal a day) of the fuel consumed on the East Coast. The pipeline runs through South Louisiana. The Phillips 66 refinery in Westlake, the CITGO refinery in Lake Charles and the Delek U.S refinery in Krotz Springs feed into it.

YES, I hope and pray I am 100% wrong.

But has the oil industrial learned anything from the previous Hurricane related outages in the last 12 years and actually applied it?

So basically you expect to be able to spend the last twenty years trying and succeeding to drive out of business all the people in production down on the Gulf Coast of the US but you think you'll still be able to drive down to the Kwik-E-Mart and buy a tank of gas at $ 2.00/gal?

#7 If / when New Orleans gets hit, think the press will hang it around Biden's neck like they did with Bush and Katrina? Yeah, me neither.

#8 Living below sea level in a coastal community has it's benefits. Biden and his media support cadre will see to it.

#10 As of right now the storm is aimed at the heavily industrialized corridor between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, and has already hit the oil patch south of that corridor. Whether you live in Louisiana or in Montana, fill up your tank.

#11 Raj, it will all be because of Climate Change™ and OrangeManBad somehow...

#12 I just went to Accuweather and they said the Inner Eyeball is coming ashore there now. If it weren't a couple hour drive I'd go over and have a look, I've never seen the Inner Eyeball before.

#15 Probably the only time that street's clean.

#16 Bourbon street not smelling like piss would be worth a drive, especially if you got to see the Inner Eyeball. I've never seen the Inner Eyeball, but if you turn your head fast enough, you can see your own ear.
