And looks like gas prices will go way up again since this hurricane will affect the refineries and oil rigs in that part of the gulf that was spared by Katrina. At least folks are taking this now way more serious and are evacuating, from what I see on the news Galveston evacuations are well under way and much more orderly and organized then They where in New Orleans.
