i have been watching fox news most of the day.

harrowing, absolutly harrowing.

I guess it was inevitable something like that would happen with a bunch of flooded unattended insutrial sites.

It seems to be amazingly chaotic and badly organised - it's not like they didn't have a few days warning - sure they have contingency plans for this sort of thing - America is prone to natural disasters - hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, volcanoes.

volcanoes? gosh do they

well, Hawaii and Wash state. . .maybe elsewhere, but can't think of anywhere else.

Mount St Helens - North west coast - sometime in the 80's I think (bad memory ).

der yes hawaii
