The market clears
I went to the bank to make a deposit (Kroger ATM) and then drove around a bit. The lowest I saw gas was $2.89, the highest was $3.41 (at a place that is always the highest) and the average was around $3.15. At least in the Avondale-Decatur area.
All of the places seemed to have gas though, which would indicate that the biggest problem didn’t happen. For more on the Atlanta area situation see this post on VodkaPundit.
Fifty cents in one day. I do realize that recent events were the result of a supply disruption, and not a long-term trend, but can we drill in Alaska now? I thought that would arise in the national conversation but it seems like it won’t.

Amazing
I go to check on some domains today and what do I see “directNIC Versus Hurricane Katrina“
Apparently they’re in New Orleans and they’re toughing it out on the 26th floor of a non-flooded area. It would seem to be just a few people doing it. They are currently running a blog, a photo gallery, and a video feed (!!!) is here.
