    fear the Murphy Oil Meraux Refinery is ill prepared.

    Two not uncommon rain events in 2009 illustrate the problem, as one event in June '09
    flooded a neighborhood and the other event in December '09 discharged oil in another
    neighborhood canal.

    What- if anything- is being done in the next 60 days to protect the community during
    tropical weather and hurricanes ? Should a corporation be allowed to operate without
    the capacity to handle rain ?

    June 2009 Event around four minute mark....
