Um, did you hear the Matt Simmons interview on CNBC?
He basically said that Rita could knock the (oil) planet off of its axis. He made a comparison to Pearl Harbor.
He knows a lot more about oil than I do, I have no idea what he knows about weather.
I don't know much about weather either but have we ever had two hurricanes in a row like this before that have caused such devastation? It makes me wonder if people are overly cautious, rightly so, because of Katrina.
I'm shooting in the dark on this because I do not know, but it is a reasonable question.

I agree. The official response for Katrina was inadequate. The media response, at least for the first coupple of days, also seemed to underestimate the impact. The coverage now looks rather more apocalyptic and no doubt we will see a highly visible official response. What I can't get a feel for, from a long way away, is whether this response is appropriate or whether it is a politically-motivated, though understandable, over-reaction. Storm in a teacup or storm of the century? For the sake of thsoe in Rita's path, I hope not the latter.
