If you're still in at this point, you may as well stay in for the long haul.

I'd be shocked if oil didn't cross $70.

Something to the tune of ~1 million barrels per day of production has been shut down in the Gulf.

New Orleans is also a huge port for importing foreign oil, and I'd take a wild stab at this and say there's gotta be some substantial refining capacity in the area that is / will be also shut down.

Read "SEAN'S" report. Was this guy able to get out or did he just hang in for the ride? Wonder what he'll do when all that debris and everything else that goes with it piles up against his hotel. This storm is going to be a MONSTER I hope he makes it !!!

You know, seeing as the TSP main HQs office is in New Orleans, it probably would be a good idea this morning to access your account, and print out your balances.

They say that a conractor now has a second copy of everything in a safe place.

But personally, I don't trust government contractors very much.

Who knows- it never hurts to have a hard copy of exactly what you had on August 29, 2005, in your TSP account, the day that New Orleans flooded.....

Eh, as the storm heads north up the Mississippi River valley and the Ohio River valley, even more rain will fall ... and drain into the aforementioned rivers, swelling their banks and sending even more of a deluge down to Mississippi and Louisiana.

This storm will change the course of some sections of the Mississippi River ... and maybe even the Ohio.

My experience tells me that the folks in eastern Kentucky should be concerned. Heavy rain there is a disaster since the terrain is one of steep slopes with thin soils. And guess who is the largest employer inKentucky? Ashland Oil!
