Just before dark I saw a corporate jet climbing out of Montgomery County Airport. So I get commercial aviation is a go.

The Houston Mayor has been conflicted about a lot lately.

Yes, HQ was gonna have a huge TV news release and party it up, but decided, due to Harvey, to keep it low key.

Gas shortages in Texas as Harvey knocks out refineries - CBS News

It's started.

It is my understanding that there is a delivery shortage, not a fuel shortage. It has to be trucked in from areas other than the coast and that will cause delays and price increases.

Colonial shut down their transport pipeline. 25% of refineries offline. Price here jumped $.30 overnight.

Been seeing some friends on Facebook having some trouble getting gas in the Dallas Fort Worth area due to stations running out.

My brother who lives North of Dallas is saying the same thing. He was going to come to central Texas this weekend and wondered if he would be able to refill his tank. I told him I had just filled my lawn mower gas cans and if he needs the 10 gallons to get back to Dallas he can have it.

Several stations have run out around us, but several more have received deliveries. It will be a little while before things are back to normal.
