Well it only happens every few years. Does it really make sense to gameplan for a rare event that's a minor inconvenience for most? I'm no fan of the Jindal administration, but I'm not gonna get worked up over this. It's gone in a day or two, whether they do anything about it or not.

Shutting down I10 which is a major east west artery is not a minor inconvenience. In just a few situations that I know about there were millions of dollars in business losses. A company in Fl was waiting for material from CA which was in a truck parked on I10, since time was critical they re-ordered from a East coast supplier. Multiply this times thousands and you have a major disruption in commerce. It may only happen every ten years, but it is going to happen, and it is a much bigger deal than people in Baton Rouge not being able to go to Walmart for a day or two.
