Few things illustrate the mixed blessing of oil reserves more succinctly than the image above. Meanwhile, as the holiday approaches, I-10 remains closed and won't open until Wednesday at the earliest.
And this picture might give you a better idea why traffic's been rerouted
I saw where Dangerblond took the south-around way (Hwy 90) this weekend; I'm hoping this will get cleared up before my own brief sojourn westward for the holiday. Of course, who knows when the CLEAN up will commence.
By the way--if anyone really wants to get an excellent visual representation of what hell must surely look like (if there was a hell, of course), you couldn't do much better than what must be either the Conoco or Citgo refinery just outside of Lake Charles a little further westward along the highway. The flare pipe is conveniently located just around a turn on the interstate...on days they're off-gassing, you first can hear the menacing hiss, then as you make the curve...Dante's Industrial Inferno. Yeesh.
