Hurricane Isaac to rival Katrina in strength - possible investment opportunities?

So Isaac is supposed to rival Katrina in strength. Its supposed to hit New Orleans in a couple of days. What investment decisions should you be making in light of this? Shorting positions probably on things like oil companies? Going long the price of oil?

Edit: This all said, given the multiple monkey shits Ive recieved, I DO NOT FAVOR MORE HURRICANES HITTING NEW ORLEANS RATHER THAN LESS.
