I'd really not been following this hurricaine at all, and just flipped on the news. This is BAD. Huge storm, ridiculously vulnerable location (NO is the _worst_ place a tornado could ever hit), and horrible potential for loss of life and property. On top of that, a massive amount of oil production has been shut down by this storm, and if any of the refineries in the area are damaged, even a release of oil from the reserves won't do anything to prevent a _massive_ oil price spike. This is _so_ bad. Jesus.

I know a ton of you all are from down there or have friends and family down there. Totally thinking of you all.
