Terrible.

Yup, I saw it on the news today, poor people. (N)

It's not as bad as they were saying it was going to be. Luckily, the storm missed them. But gas prices are rising because of this. (N)

Saw it on the news... the lake is higher than the city which means that the city will be very much destroyed at the end of the storm. Dang... (N)

can someone with decent global market knowledge explain to the ignorant me why this has such an effect on oil pricing? :?:

by **Riot** on Tue Aug 30, 2005 8:45 am

There are a lot of oil refineries in the Gulf of Mexico where the Hurricane hit and a lot of oil gets transported through the gulf of Mexico but they had to stop all shipping because it was too danergous.

And the refineries no longer have power so they can't produce oil.

Missed who? It hit the city of New Orleans head on.

I mean, luckily the worse part of the storm missed New Orleans. It could have been a lot worse but they got lucky.

by **Amphatoast** on Tue Aug 30, 2005 12:08 pm

New Orleans got hit by the Western Side of the storm. The center of the storm was about 35miles east of New Orleans.

The worst part of the storm was on the western side of it, so they missed that. If the western side had hit it, the superdome might of been completely destroyed.

Indy, anyone told you yet your sig doesn't work? Back on topic, it looks really bad, but I heard the waters going down already.

Poor people!

And what about the Hornets arena? Is that ok? :roll:

by **Doobie** on Tue Aug 30, 2005 12:35 pm

If i'm not mistaken , the Hornets arena is being used a shelter ,im not to sure though . Anyways , hopefully NO could recover quickly from this tragedy.

Sadly, I think so.
But the Superdome got 2 holes torn in it I saw on the news :cry:

by **Riot** on Tue Aug 30, 2005 1:22 pm

Hornets don't play in the Superdome.

...wow, if I thought they did I would not have said

"Sadly, I think so.

The way I put that, was implying that the Superdome and where the Hornets play are 2 different places.
Do we need a lesson in basic english?

I was talking to doogie.

damn fuel prices are going to keep going through my roof....soon enough, by the time I get down the drive I'll be on Empty :cry:

by **Jugs** on Tue Aug 30, 2005 2:43 pm

Yeah I heard on the news that petrol is going up 3 cents, that meants $1.28 per litre, sheesh, that'll be bad for my parents

BUT the sad thing is the people in New Orleans. I hope they'll recover, good that George Bush declared a (or is it the) state of emergency and will provide money for the clean up

(I heard this stuff on the news)

Unleaded 83 (I Think) is $2.75
Super Unleaded 87 (I Think) Is $2.79
Premium 93 (I Know) is $2.84

Its crazy.
And my dad has a Saleen Mustang, so he has to use Premium >_<
and I have a Ford SVT Lightning, and I also have to use Premium >_<
But I'm not going to be like thoes soccer moms that own a SUV and bitch about how much it is to fill up her tank when she gets 2 miles to the gallon.
...and name their kids Zachery and Tyler

...and are always drinking coffee from Starbucks

GOD DAMNIT I HATE SOCCERMOMS!!

I'm starting to get unleaded with ethanol. It's usually 10 cents cheaper per gallon.
