> [@boardjnky4](#): > > lets face it, not to be a cold-hearted dick or anything, but if these people dont get the fuck out of where they are, then they are stupid and ignorant, and i wont feel bad for them when they get hurt. As for those people who do leave and leave behind their houses and belongings which will most likely be huffed down by the hurricane, i am truely sorry, i couldnt imagine leaving my house and coming back at some point to see it not there anymore, or in ruins. thats devistating I said that about NO, but everyone cryed when I did. ---

^ i didnt, i think i called those people bad names 🙂 > [@MidgeX](#): > > i was referring to the fact that they potentially r making more money, and the refineries being destroyed im sure will be reimbursed. i guess i wasnt clear enough thats the thing, they wont make more money. well i am sure they will make a little more, but you obviously dont understand the cost of doing business. these storms are costing them tons of money. paying for repaires, and taxes on land that the plants are on that are doing nothing, and about a billion other costs. every second they arent pumping oil, they are lossing money. ---

They make money. 😛 ok, how does that pertain to you owning/selling gas? do you drive a natural gas honda? if not, then it doesnt matter, and you’re just making noise. ot: do they actually have the mineral rights or do they just get free gas out of the deal? i was looking at land with wells on it, and no one wants to give up mineral rights, and if they are willing to, they are asking an insane amount of money for the property. > [@Nikuk](#): > > the track projection keeps shifting northeasterly… how great would it be if it made landfall in the exact same path as katrina? i would laugh. but im a heartless sob ---

Well, 2 weeks ago he was wandering about with his new puppy and found something - turned out to be an old nat. gas well cap. Took a few days, but he found out when it was installed, and found that the rights transferred to him w/the sale :tup: However, he called a few companies: National Fuel, Haliburton (referred to by Nat. Fuel), and other i don’t remember. Basically they told him it would cost him $25k+ to begin harvesting any of the odorless, colorless goodness. Just for labor & basic equip. :tdown: /OT ---
