Please talk about the Henry Hub. I heard talk that there were serious issues or damage to the hub, but it's all anecdoctal so far...

so true, and believe me, we have feelers out on it. It will take a couple of days, I am guessing, before even we'll get an assessment of it...depends on the availability of electricity, etc., as well, which could take a couple of days. believe me, we want to know too.

This story implies two problems:

a gas leak and a spill

[QUOTE]A key natural gas installation in southern Louisiana known as Henry Hub, through which a third of the nation's natural gas flows and where spot gas prices are determined, was damaged by Rita, Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco said.

"We understand there is a gas leak and ... a possible shearing of an oil storage tank," Blanco told CNN.

She gave no other details about the damage or its effects on gas delivery, but said the leak would have to be plugged.

"We're watching the situation very carefully," Blanco said.[/QUOTE]

From CNN

ABBEVILLE, La. (CNN) -- A distillate used in processing natural gas was leaking Saturday night from a rupture at Henry Hub in Louisiana, which connects numerous natural gas pipelines in the region, but state officials said the incident posed no danger to residents.
Henry Hub is at the Sabine Pipe Line Henry Gas Processing Plant in Erath, La., part of Vermilion Parish. Vermilion was one of the three parishes worst hit by Hurricane Rita.
The officials said the chemical was leaking from a tank into a levee meant to contain such spills. The cause of the leak was being investigated. (Posted 10:15 p.m.)
