The eye of Hurricane Katrina passed over Picayune on August 29, 2005. Katrina first made landfall approximately 75 miles directly south of Picayune. Winds were measured in Picayune exceeding 130 mph. Rheogistics prepared as well as possible for the storm and was fortunate to sustain only minor damage to our building. Our process and inventory were not damaged. Our plant was down for nine days due to lack of electricity. Although our employees suffered through great personal stress and discomfort, they continued to make shipments from inventory during the days the plant was down and pulled together to run production 24 hours per day, seven days per week shortly after power was restored to our site. Supply of our products to one customer was unfortunately interrupted for ten days. Most other customers continued to receive their shipments as ordered and on-time.
