Months probably

They already don't know how they are going to restart the refineries in the area beacause they can't house any workers.

Normalizing production is tied to power restoration since you can produce out on the gulf withen 3-5 days at diminished capacity, but if you can't ship product to the coast if nothing there can recieve and process it

Doesn't UPS or FEDEX have a hub in Atlanta?

Major. This will affect the Internet.

The main Fedex hub is in Memphis.
The main UPS hub is in Louisville. (I think.)

Oil company profits will set records. Doesn't that just make you sick? Their profits at our expense. If things were really that bad for them, they wouldn't be making so much.

You are looking at literally running out of Gas in alot of places in the country.

It makes one wonder whether it's safe to drive out of town this weekend....what if we can't find a place to fill up and get home?

Damn. I am *supposed* to go out of Tampa to Baltimore Friday morning to see my daughter. Flying back on Monday.

So, if I do actually get there, I could very well get stuck.
