Wow... wife just reported WalMart here in NW San Antonio pretty much cleaned out... long long lines at the gas pumps... and it is 8:30 at night? The storm isn't even supposed to come close to here.

That's a little ridiculous. However, I'd fill up tomorrow if I could. The Houston refineries are shut down. That's on top of the ones Katrina knocked out. Gasoline will be in short supply next week, and price will ration it. It might easily get to 4 bucks a gallon or more in the short term. It'll drop quickly thereafter when the Houston refineries refire, assuming they don't have much damage.

Joe Bastardi is still sticking with his Galveston/High Island landfall prediction. That's a worse case scenario for the refineries.

Don't know if I'd wait, many places from Victoria south were out today. I'm sure some were refilled, but deliver is biggest issue at the moment.
