Let's suppose that the upcoming hurricane season - which will soon
be upon us - once again produces some large storms.

Let's say that we get two major hurricanes along with some minor
ones. The first one hits the Eastern Seaboard, around the Carolinas.
The second one hits Texas, close to Houston - or, perhaps, western
Louisiana, a couple months later.

As nearly as I can tell, FEMA would be completely unprepared for
all this; likewise the rest of the infrastructure. Gasoline would
skyrocket to $5 per gallon, and numerous locales would not have
it available at any price.

In short, the New Orleans debacle would be replicated on a larger
scale - though perhaps with less loss of life, since there would
likely be less flooding.

So - is such a scenario possible, in your opinion?

What effect might it have politically?
