First Scenario
	Get started by visualizing the hurricane paths in concert with the Nov 2004/Nov 2005 production comparisons. Be sure to read the 'Preview' pages for a sense of what's being displayed and how to access the pop-up tables.

	Now toggle Gas Production off, and load Oil Production and note the very different pattern.

	Second Scenario
	Keeping your Hurricane Paths layer visible, but turning everything else off, let's focus on the specific pattern of damaged assets.

	Now notice how the damage generally seems to be more extensive on the eastern side of the hurricane paths. Checking out this overlay of Katrina's winds provide visual evidence of how wind direction with respect to the land mass accounts for this pattern.

	Third Scenario
	Now you see the true power of map-based analysis by building a buffer of the hurricane paths and/or coastline. Don't worry, if you have no idea what a 'buffer' is, an explanation, plus detailed instructions, is available on the 'Preview' page. For reference, add the overlay of Gulf wells first.

	Attention Mac Users: There have been reports of our advanced spatial analysis tools not functioning correctly with the Mac platform. We are researching the issue and will post any workarounds we come across.
