Quote: I wouldn't wait to fill up your cars. Do it now when you can afford it. Why, Rita if by chance comes up into GAL/HOU,area, there are 26 oil-refinieries there. You do the math.
When the Governor of a state on the other side of the GOM tells its residents to conserve fuel... that's telling. Of course, his brother was the Governor of Texas once...
Six hours ago I was thinking that the Galveston/Houston area would be spared and that Rita would hit the TX/LA border as a Cat 4. She's not cooperating in that regard. Looks on IR like she's well on her was to 165+ again... and back on track for Galveston. Yes, the water is not as hot closer to the coast, so the storm should weaken, but the surge is already being generated.
