Gas Shortages
An unexpected result of the damage wrought by Hurricane Ike is that the oil refineries are not able to get up and running. There was some damage to the refineries, but the lack of electricity and the problems at home for the workers are making it very difficult to get the refinieries running at 100%.
Unfortunately, hundreds of thousands of people throughout the southeast are expereincing problems getting gasoline. The supply lines are dry and there just isn’t any gas being produced and shipped out from Houston. Officials predict that it will be another 2 weeks before the shortage can be expected to ease.
Tyler – I hope you and your family are safe after all this hurricane damage and that you don’t have the problems getting gasoline that we are having. I know it won’t last much longer but it is a nuisance.
Take care,
Wendy
