A hurricane destroys most of the fishing boats on the Macro Islands but leaves the lobster traps untouched. Boats are not needed to collect the trapped lobsters. People enjoy eating fresh fish with tartar sauce and lobster with drawn butter equally. Explain the effect of the hurricane on the demand and supply for fresh fish.

I’m trying to understand how supply and demand works but I’m overthinking it and could use some pointers.

Assume that a major hurricane wipes out over 50% of all rubber trees in Central America. How would this effect the demand, supply, equilibrium price, and equilibrium quantity (Increase, Decrease, or No Change) of Rubber.

… or just the ones I date or marry? My last girlfriend called me this afternoon and was actually being real nice and offered to give me some hurricane supplies since I’m planing on staying here and riding it out. That evil woman drove up to my house and tossed a rope (with a noose tied in it) onto my driveway and told me to tie it around my neck when the storm hits, then she drove off in a cloud of dust. Does anyone else have problems like I do?

are we selfish enough to rely on other countries to help us and carry us while we help other countries to help us more with our economy?For example we responded to the Haiti earthquake when we first got news of it. But hurricane Katrina we responded to a few days later and we knew that was coming. Is it the president or are we selfish?

I know that I am safe, I have sprinkled holy water and garlic cloves all around the perimeter of my home, drawn the blinds, and locked the doors. Should I board up my windows as well? I am also well-stocked with hurricane supplies. My neighbors think that I am insane, do you? Nothing has happened yet, do you think all the bad stuff will happen after it gets dark?

Isn’t this foolhardy as there is so many threats of violence in the middle east.

Won’t prices double or triple should another hurricane hit the gulf coast, and our reserves are low? Remember 2005?

What will happen to our economy if we actually run out of oil???

NO TO DIPPING IN TO THE RESERVES!!!

I live on O’ahu, Hawaii, and I have been told that we should be expecting a hurricane shortly. Can anyone tell me anything about this hurricane? I cant find it on the news channels, nor the internet. Thanks.

Good grief does anybody know anything about how are government works? Federal goverment can not step in until the state asks for help. And LA knew the hurricane was going to hit them for about 3+ days so why didn’t they ask for help before the hurricane hit? Why did they wait till afterwards? B/c if you read the news that day and in the following weeks, the fed gave ~ billion dollars to LA. And now you have Dems running around saying Bush didn’t do anything. He should have helped sooner. Why doesn’t he care. Like I stated before, Bush could not step in into the governor of LA, which is by the way a Dem, asked him for help. When she did ask for help though, noticed Bush sent military trucks in with food, medicine, and supplies to those people in New Orleans.
And for all those who said the fed could have done a better job, like one of the users stated below, how in the world do you plan for a whole city to become wiped out?
hey map that would have been nice but we have a balance system for a reason. If the Federal gov decided to do that with Katrina, then that means they can just but in whenever they feel like it into state business. That is what you are stating.

I’m doing a skit for class that is on airports during a hurricane. What are some complaints and excuses that people use when the planes can’t fly out due to the hurricane.

When food, fuel, power are scarce and expensive. When the sea water will rise between 7 to 43 meter. When hurricane, tornadoes, flood and drought will increase in intensity and reduce our habitat and food supply to a dangerous level. When population increase to 9 Billion. What do we need to do? and Would we able to do something about it or it is no longer humanly possible to correct? Read Luke 21 about the sign of the coming of the Creator for Overhaul job of the earth.

Why is it, days before Ike or any hurricane hits, gas prices jump through the roof?

The gas we’re paying for is already in the ground in the station’s storage tanks!

Say what you want about fears about shortages, supply disruptions, blah, blah, blah.

It’s all a form of price gouging, no matter what you want to call it.

What are your opinions?

Very warm water and air meets cold and high air and generates a hurricane. Hurricanes start they development in oceans. Should it be that underwater volcanoes make a major contribution to hurricane phenomenon?

I know the answer. I just wanted to see if you did. The answer is that there is an endless supply of northerners that come to the state after selling their home. So real estate agents/ sellers in Florida can ALMOST charge anything they want. But those folks that move down here usually don’t know the downside to Florida. They don’t know how bad a hurricane really is, or that the cost of living down here is much higher than they thought, or that wages are low, or that crime can be very high, or that social services are not the greatest because od a low tax base, or that homeowners insurance is the highest in the nation, or that the sense of community is not very tight, or that the public schools rank quite low, or that etc… You can’t really warn them beforehand. Gotta find out the hard way like me.
It really isn’t like Disney World.
And also, employers always have an endless new crop of employees to choose from. Keeps the wages low.

ENOUGH of Hurricane Katrina. YES it was horrible & sad . SO was 9/11. Life goes on! Ever since Katrina every1 scared it’s "going to happen again". Does any1 hate how the media scares us. I live in Houston so I have an idea of what Hurricanes are too! I am so sick of hearing about a storm off the coast of AFRICA & people in Houston making evac. plans & stokcing up on supplies. I know you can’t be too careful but some ppl take it too far don’t you think?
Sorry Nicole .
Sorry Nicole .
I’m referring to people in Houston worrying about Gustav & I don’t need to hear about N.O for the 3001th time. Why does everyone mention New Orleans when it comes to Katrina? What in the HELL about Mississippi?

Does anyone officially know what the storm in Illinois (southern Illinois mostly) was classified?

In my area, just finding drinking water or gasoline was a serious issue. Most of us finally have power today. Many of us lost our stock and emergency supplies too in the clocked 108 mph winds. A huge oak tree from across the street uprooted and landed on top of our home, so we are staying at a motel in another county. The first night we camped out in our back yard with what we could find. I don’t know how many deters we made to find a road or highway that was clear after that first day.

I would like to know if anyone has an official name for this storm. On the radio, NOAA is saying it was a very rare occurance, but he seemed ambiguous on whether it was a straight line of tornadoes or an inland hurricane. He stated that it was as severe as a hurricane, but it also behaved as if it were tornadoes.
