I see a few scenarios playing out here
1 if our refineries go offline or not we will be told they are and that will allow them to keep them off line and create a fuel shortage as long as they want
2 fuel shortage drives fuel prices up to a point where trucking companies refuse to operate because its no longer profitable
3 cost of everything goes up so much due to cost of transport ppl can’t even afford the necessities
4 Biden is a hero and handles the situation in a spectacular manner and there is no disruption ..... hahahahaha

All of New Orleans is currently without power
Hurricane Ida made landfall at 12:55 p.m. near Point Fourchon, Louisiana with winds tied for the most intense hurricane on record to strike Louisiana, at 150 mph.
As of 7pm ET, Ida was a strong Category 3 storm with maximum sustained winds up to 125 MPH.
Max sustained winds of 150 mph, tied with two other hurricanes for record landfall.
Over half a million residents without power
Surge could result in 12-16 feet of inundation; so far the surge has reached at least 4 to 7 feet in southeast Louisiana and coastal Mississippi, engulfing roads, homes, businesses and marinas.
New Orleans’ flood protection system, bolstered by a $14.5 billion investment post-Katrina, will be tested by Ida’s surge and torrential rain.
The storm could unload up to two feet of rain in parts of southeast Louisiana, causing severe flash flooding.
Downed trees and widespread power outages could last weeks
The core of the storm’s hurricane-force winds could pass through Houma and Baton Rouge and very close to New Orleans, producing structural damage, downed trees and widespread power outages, which could last weeks.
Power outages in Louisiana surge as Hurricane Ida rotates through the state, according to data from utility Entergy Corp. As of 6pm local time, some 538,173 customers were affected the utility said on its website. Outages stood at 133,722 half an hour after Ida made first landfall. Outages are currently affecting 31 of state’s 64 parishes, including those that are homes to oil refineries:
East Baton Rouge Parish, where Exxon’s Baton Rouge refinery sits
St. Charles Parish, home to Valero’s St. Charles and Shell’s Norco facilities
St. Bernard Parish: PBF Chalmette and Valero’s Meraux plant
St. John the Baptist Parish: Marathon Garyville
Plaquemines Parish: Phillips 66’s Alliance plant

Electricity reliability matters in so many ways.

For New Orleans the biggest threat might end up being wind and power outages which then threaten the pumps that keep water out of the city. Surge looks to be contained behind the levees, now wait and see if rainwater can be pumped out.

Jason Bordoff @JasonBordoff · 2h 100% power outage in New Orleans. All 8 transmission lines that serve the city are down. And a major transmission tower that serves the city is evidently in the Mississippi River. Energy called the damage “catastrophic.”
"Biden" is a puppet or lookalike. He has no real power. Whatever happens is not because he says so. White hats are in control.
