I hate to say it (man, this is going to sound bad) but I was kind of hoping it would follow Katrina. Hell, at least that area has already been evacuated and you can only really completely devestate an area once.

Hum,
Yeah, I can imaging how many millions  of dollars  Halliburton would lose then.

Scary...Just hope it dies down a tad before it hits land, though I don't think thats gonna happen, best wishes to anyone out there who is in the path of that thing.

Unless they manage to "convince" the government that since *2* hurricanes destroyed the structures instead of one, that it will cost twice as much to rebuild them.

Given their track record, that should be a piece of pish.
