"Most Americans watched the ravages of Katrina's Category 4 winds and floodwaters from a safe distance, but they won't be able to escape the storm's economic aftershocks. From California to Maine, the commute to work will cost more. The price of a morning cup of joe is soon to rise. Anyone visiting a hardware store for building supplies should expect sticker shock. And it might be a good idea to stow away some extra cash to pay this winter's home heating bills." (U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT) This article discusses the economic impact of Hurricane Katrina, noting that "Katrina's blow to the energy industry will be felt all across the economy."
