Govt. raises it's damage assesment from Katrina/Rita;

The number of pipelines damaged has risen to 457 from 183.

The number of larger diameter pipelines (10 inches or greater) that were damaged has risen to 101 from 64.

Oynes explained that, “Assessments of pipeline and facility damages are still ongoing, and any updates will be reflected in future announcements. It is likely that additional damage will be reported as underwater damage assessments are completed. These have been delayed because of overwhelmed support resources, such as diving equipment, support vessels, and remotely operated vehicles, but we are moving ahead as expeditiously as possible under the circumstances.”
