I'm impressed with how well the refineries handled the storm, a big kudos to them. 👍 I sure hope they get online soon and I'm sure they do too. Mid next week if all goes good is what I read.

F'ing mosquitoes!
They were out in force at dusk tonight.
They'll have a feast, as most folks are without electricity still, and have all the doors and windows open. Many screens are blown away by the hurricane here.
I have faith that at some point, there will be improvement rather than the opposite...

Just in case you're wondering where your hurricane got off to, Harvey is just south of Cincinnati and heading north. We had a gust of wind that woke me up at 0400 and rain is expect to start at 0715. We're supposed to get 2 inches before Saturday afternoon.

What's left of Harvey is right over us here in west Kentucky. We've had heavy rain, wind, flash flood warnings, and the power went off about 3 AM. I got up and hooked the generator up about 4:30 and we can survive until it comes back on. They are predicting up to 8 inches of rain here, so far I've had about 5 here.

Rockport update. Mayor said 30-40% of homes and businesses are destroyed and another 30% are beyond repair. 2000 electricians are working in Rockport now.

tracker.gasbuddy.com will show if a station has gas for sale. That's good to know! Then go there and get in a 2 hour line that will probably take all the gas before you get to the pump.

We will be out in 1 more hour. Elon refinery in Big Springs broke. Can you believe that? Coast refinerys are down so ours goes down. Supposedly on line soon. They are awaiting a part. Now, if you had a refinery that could go down from one broken part.....
...I'd have two on hand. Prezactly. Now, i hear the refinery east of here is ok and people are lined up at stations due to mass hysteria. Well that's why I asked cause I'm heading to the central part of NM tomorrow. About 600 miles or so one way. One station out here got a load and they were lined up down the street. Think I'll try the trip anyway. Gas in Post ( hope) then on west. Good luck. I would cancel. Gas may be gone before you get there.

I remember they they started that schidt when 9/11 happened. Governor Perry got busy and froze gas prices and other things people were panic buying. It helped some. Fuggin' idiots. Some of us HAVE to go get a little gasoline to run generators and such. What happens when the first responders can't find fuel?

That's bad stuff right there. I don't know anything about electrical grids, but I would have thought that all of that water would short out that part of the grid or they would have shut it down. Guess not.

I thought I heard on the radio this morning that gas was selling for $20 a gallon in parts of Texas.

You just drive up to it , with proper ID, fill up and leave. Did that for weeks in Mississippi.
