Rita has been recorded as the third most intense huricane to hit the U.S.
1.3million people on the move throughout Texas, and that number is expected to double as today goes by.
And expert, I HIGHTLY doubt that this huricane will increase gas by ~$3.00. When Katrina hit, the national average went up some $.60 cents I do believe.
The gas prices were already predicted to be $5 to $6 by the end of this year anyway. Texas is the biggest producer of oil in the USA (behind Alaska but they are like not even near the USA), this hurricane seriously cant be good for gas prices.
The entire world should just cancel out all debt to each other.
It was also predicted years back that we'd run out of gas a a few years ago. Did that happen? No. Do I think gas will sky rocket to $5-$6? No. Why? Because gas has only been increasing, like what, $.30-$.55 a year? I highly doubt that gas would quaddruple, especialy when it's at $2.69 a gallon here in Tennessee.
Back ontopic, I just called a good friend who lives about 120 miles away from Galviston(sp?), and she said it was windy as hell already, and it isn't soposed to make landfall till late tommorrow night/saturday morning.
