I am sure everyone is watching Gustav. The R's are certainly attempting to appear to be watching, we shall see if it makes any difference this time.
Actually if you are watching the track closely, Gustav is starting to look like Mother Earth's revenge on the petroleum industry, the eye tracking right along south of the Gulf coast. The razor edge of the hurricane is cutting right across the refinery row. If Gustav follows the this track all the way to Texas City and Houston, it may take months and months to get refining back up and running.
It is as if Mother Earth Herself is guiding the scythe called Gustav.
Peace, Terry
