I'm not sure if you're trying to joke or something but...the Texas shore is definitely not "all dirt" and a huge portion of our economy depends on it. Wanna see gas at $4 a gallon? Shit you don't drive anyway so it doesn't matter I guess...
But the fact is that offshore oil rigs have already been evacuated and will sort of have a domino effect...gas rises, the price of shipping rises, the price of goods rises...and all of this after Katrina destroyed our biggest port. Our third biggest state is about to be slammed and its coast wiped out...
A whole lot of agriculture comes from eastern Texas, just as so much came down the Mississippi river through New Orleans. You know about supply and demand...less supply, more demand, higher prices.
I almost feel like a shithead talking about the economic impact when the human toll will be awful too. Whatever. Don't kid yourself, we're all going to feel this.
