I just saw it's a cat. 5 now. 175 winds, gusts up to 200. Predicted 50 foot storm surge.

It's headed directly towards a lot of our oil refineries. 27% of our domestic oil production is threatened. Gas prices could get as high as $4.00 per gallon. Not good news.

That wind-speed info is no longer accurate.

And I meant 25 not 50.

I have close family that lives in Lake Jackson just south of Houston. Please pray for them. They both work at the DOW chemical plant.

I have family in Winnie (TX, near Houston) and Lake Charles (LA, near Winnie). A little freaked out about it all, but it'll most likely weaken before it hits them. Prayer would be nice though.
