New Orleans . . .Wow

The Mayor of New Orleans has ordered a mandatory evacuation of his city. This is big. To me this is huge. 487,000 people in city, 1.3 million in the metropolitan area. Wow. Talk about logistics. Baton Rouge is about to have its best economic year since the movie Moulin Rouge came out and ignorant people thought it was in Lousiana.
One thing that I am thinking about is that when something like this happens it effects the entire United States. Think about the ripple effect. Insurance, weather reporting, stocks, tourism and tons of other factors have already been completely effected. Wow. What a country.
