Join the crowd.
I've made four scouting attempts to find gasoline today and wasted gasoline in that effort.
There ain't none nowhere. I don't expect any new deliveries tomorrow. The Houston refineries are shutting down in preparation for the hit.
The Kroger here closed well before 5 because it's closed now. Like I said it was stripped clean by 8 this morning anyway.
We're down to the point where you have what you have and that's all you're getting. If you're on the road now, good luck. You might turn off the AC for better mileage and enjoy those 98 degree temperatures at 1 mph.
102f the further west you go but your goin 10mph down I-10
You in this?
You guys are in our prayers.
Turning off the A/C is an excellent suggestion. At speed that seems to give me about 5 mpg more, not sure the impact at a crawl, but it surely makes a diffence. If you get a chance, want to call in that suggestion to the radio stations? How are the stations doing with their coverage. Was rather ticked when leaving Tuesday nite that after 6 pm the only real info I could get was from Hugh Hewitt's NATIONAL SHOW taking Houston calls (1070 AM?), while 700, 740, and 950 were broadcasting meaningless crap. Couldn't have given a flying flip about Michael Savage.
Hang in there, if the track doesn't shift back west it sounds like the west side sustained winds shouldn't get much above 80 mph or so (according to Ch. 11.)
The Channel 11 news just said that the lower roads towards Corpus are fairly freeflowing and there is gas and even rooms available in Corpus. Galveston officials talking about their evac being via San Luis pass and down to Corpus.
