I can tell you how it affects things here: Glad you posted this. Time to fill up. If that thing even hints at coming this way there'll be a run on gas.

Here we go again... how many times does that town have to flood before people realize it's a waste of time and money?

It's sinking... give it up... move the town further inland for crying out loud. Let the gulf claim it. It's going to sooner or later anyway.

Maybe I'm an asshole but I would have had someone sabatoge the levies so that dumb ass town could finally be wiped out for good. I'm so sick of not only continually having to send federal money down there to rebuild but of hearing about emergency personal having to rescue people who were too goddamned dumb to get out before things got bad. I'd let them fucking people die of their own stupidity.

"911 what's your emergency?"
"Oh you're trapped on your roof because you didn't leave 3 days ago when it was clear that that was the prudent thing to do? Too fucking bad"

I have been stationed in hurricane prone areas (VA, NJ, and NY to some extent), as well as Earthquake and tsunami
prone zones (CA, especially NorCAl, and OR).

I learned long ago to never let my tank go below 3/4er's full. No electricity - no gas pumping!
