Katrina's Economic Impact

Just heard from the news reports that many of the oil rigs in the central and eastern Gulf are evacuating their workers from the platforms today. Also Chevron Texaco has their largest refinery at Pascagoula (just west of Mobile), it's one of the top ten largest in the U.S., so if it takes a direct hit from Katrina (which I think will be at least a strong Cat 4) the whole country may be impacted by a spike in gas prices.
