move out and draw fire

So, being selfishly happy for my friends who live in the Marigny, I'm wondering what this is going to do to property values in New Orleans?

I was wondering other things too, but having one relative who attended Tulane, I'm not sure that no-school-for-months will be noticed by many of the students. And it can only help the Saints standings.

How are they going to get the water out?

Coolish thing: my firm is matching Red Cross donations for Katrina

We just got the announcement that mine is matching donations too. We get about 5 charities to choose from, so I guess I need to go research which I like most.

How are they going to get the water out?

They got some huge pumps. Once the levy is fixed, they can get to pumping out the water.

Thrive to spite them

From around work and a few other places I've heard rumors of gas rationing. Can anyone give me a source with solid information?

Okay. I've also seen over in the dragoncon lj that Atlanta only has a 10 day supply of gas and that has been on the news media.

I don't know where to look for a source about that.

Silence means security silence means approval

When I say here's your hat, what's your hurry?, I'm actually specifically wishing that that particular little group of cranky righties would hole itself up in a nice cul-de-sac somewhere or sail off to foreign climes, declare itself seceded, theocratize to its hearts' content, and leave the rest of us alone.

What are you talking about? They already have found a nice cul-de-sac to hole up in to theocratize.

However, since it's Washington, the "leave the rest of us alone" part is going to need some work.

There is some concern about gas in Atlanta because of the lack of electricity to pump gas through the pipelines that normally serve the area. The gas companies are saying that they'll use more tanker-trucks instead, but there may be some temporary shortages.
