I'm sure everyone must have heard about Hurricane Katrina by now. It's scary how devastating natural disasters can be. It's time like these I feel that I'm really lucky to be living in a country where these do not happen. To the victims, R.I.P
Around 20,000 people sought refuge in the superdome stadium in New Orleans. This just reminds me of what happened in The Day After Tomorrow, except this is not fiction =/
This pic shows an oil rig broken apart by Katrina and smashing into a bridge. Katrina has destroyed much of the oil infrastructure in its path across the Gulf of Mexico. As a result, oil prices in the US has jumped as much as 10 times the price of pertol in Brunei!
The price difference is just crazy! I can't imagine how much people in the US must be spending on petrol alone. And to think some people I know are actually complaining about prices here.. So what are you waiting for? Come pick me up more often! =P

US Open
On a lighter note, I will be tuning in to watch the US Open these 2 weeks. On the men's draw, Federer seems to be unstoppable. It's all up to Nadal now, as Roddick is already out and Hewitt probably will never beat him.
The women's side is more wide open though. The Williams sisters seem to be playing well, as is Davenport. But I hope either of the Belgians or Sharapova to win. =)
