It’s hurricane season again. As the Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana gulf coast gets pummeled by hurricane Isaac, the real power of these forceful systems becomes very clear. The gulf region has fortunately seen a relative calm over the last several years as far as hurricanes go. Besides some less significant tropical depressions, there has been an absence of major tropical storm and hurricane activity. But, all things change, and as the category 1 hurricane makes landfall this week, we are reminded again that hurricanes are a reality for those living in the gulf coast area. So, you might be asking yourself, or the computer screen in front of you, “what does this have to do with the hardwood mat industry? “ Well, for starters, the hardwood mat industry is probably, in some slight way, linked to just about everything on earth. If there are only 20 degrees of separation between you and Kevin Costner, then there are definitely fewer degrees of separation between a hardwood mat and whatever your Kevin Costner connected brain can come up with. So, lets try it. We’ll start with a hurricane since that’s where we’re at right now. To start, the hardwood mat industry and the oil industry are closely tied to one another, and as the gulf coast (a major player in the oil supply chain of this country) gets hammered by rain and winds, many of the petroleum producers will need to repair access to flooded regions, isolated oil pumps, and even battered rigs in the gulf. Hardwood mats are often used in the oil industry to access hard to reach areas and secure unstable ground around worksites. Both of these will be concerns in the coming weeks as the region gets production back to full steam (sorry for using the antiquated saying, “full steam” – I guess we don’t use steam anymore… for a more appropriate figure of speech, maybe I should say “running on all four cylinders”).
