I filled up already.

I paid 2.69 in northern VA today and actually felt like it was a bargain. Not for long.

When the oil companies are shutting down GOM ops, that’s important info.

[Aquamarine]

Not sure if the colors mean intensity in either wind, rain or temperature. Maybe someone else knows.

[SouthTexas]

For cars or windstorm?

Normally they will until it's a hurricane.

Windstorm

[SouthTexas]

I didn’t, but it doesn’t look like I’ll be going far over the next few days. LOL

[Letitring]

Thanks for the ping.

BTW, the combined models are now showing 36hr arrival for the Corpus area. HUH? What happened to tomorrow?

Thanks for the article. If the oil companies are taking it seriously, so should we. Great call.

Does anyone have a good link showing all the models for TD5? Thanks.

[shield]

Yep, they’ve brought all of them in from the rigs out in gulf off Texas coast. For the one that’s blown up and Dean.

It looks like it flickered a little bit, but it’s gone in the last frames of the sequence. It still looks disorganized.

I just bought a new car and financed and insured it with USAA and I live in a hurricane zone.

[VeniVidiVici]

That’s good news :)

As SouthTexas said though it may be when the storm gets to hurricane status.

I’ll call them today and see what they say.

Thanks for the info!

[SouthTexas]

You sure were up bright and early this morning!

Actually, it was before bright.
