Steff Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 02:08 PM) CNBC flashed that 2.38 million bbp of crude and 8.3 million bcfd of natural gas production are shutdown right now. Uh.. thanks. Translation please..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 02:12 PM) Uh.. thanks. Translation please..? Its a LOT of both. OPEC produced about 30 million barrels of oil a day, just for perspectives sake. The markets are MUCH more worried about the lost natural gas production, as the NG markets stayed way higher than the rest of the energies did on the day.

HighHeat45 Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I got this from the CNN article on the story "I'm not doing too good right now," Chris Robinson told the AP via cell phone from his home east of the city's downtown. "The water's rising pretty fast. I got a hammer and an ax and a crowbar, but I'm holding off on breaking through the roof until the last minute. Tell someone to come get me please. I want to live I feel bad for the guy, but he put it on himself not evacuating the city when he had the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamTell Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 (edited) It'll be nowhere near a million deaths. I pray for the safety of everyone that's still in danger. On MSNBC they were reporting that they could hear cries for help but couldn't reach them, so hopefully those people are ok.

whitesoxfan101 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I was just going to bed, but as I was, CNN is reporting there is a "2 block long" breach of the levee on Lake Pontchatrain in New Orleans, and that water is "rushing down Canal Street and rising at the rate of an inch per minute". As a result, Tulane University hospital may be forced to evacuate it's 1,000 or so patients. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Saddest thing I have seen or heard in a long time. The reporter seems in tears also. Click 'You can't hold me, take care of the kids' A man in Biloxi told CNN affiliate WKRG-TV he believed his wife was killed after she was ripped from his grasp when their home split in half. "I held her hand as tight as I could," the man said. "She told me, 'You can't hold me.' She told me to take care of the kids and the grandkids ... we ain't got nowhere to go. I'm lost. That's all I had." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they can get the levee breaches closed without additional parts of the system failing or else the flooding is going to get even worse.
