<div dir="ltr">Thanks, Jeff. <br><br>Glad to hear that you're pretty much OK. Actually, I've heard that mostly, in the Houston area, the problem with gas isn't the supplies. It's the lack of power to run the pumps. I heard yesterday that over 2 million people still don't have power. I've decided to stay at my sister's until at least Friday or Saturday. I heard from David Porritt today that there are highway signs around up here advising people not to try to return to Galveston or Houston because of the gas problem. They're not even letting people IN to Galveston yet and it may be several weeks before they do. No power, gas, water, ice, supplies, etc., etc. Most of the 20,000 or so idiots who decided to stay there are now sorry they did and are trying desperately to get out! It's a real mess in that whole area! <br>

<div><font size="2" face="Arial">Same here. Somebody started a rumor Thursday
that the next shipment of gas to SC would be $6/gallon, and that it would
be $4.50 or $5.00 on Friday (it wasn't then, but by Sunday it was) and so
there was a run on gasoline Thurs, Fri and Sat. Some stations were selling
at $5.69, and people were actually buying gas there to avoid long lines.
Now, there's no gas here, either.</font></div>

<div><font size="2" face="Arial">Well, some stations have premium.</font></div>

<div><font size="2" face="Arial">Great to hear you guys are in good shape.
Prayers go out to everyone in that area.</font></div>
