Gas lines!

If the power goes out, the gas station pumps won't work.

I worked in a gas station in my youth. Be very careful of flooded areas as their underground tanks may have too much water. The owner where I worked didn't get the tank filler on straight during icing weather. When the ice/snow melted it ran into the fill pipe and caused havoc with our customers.

Now gas prices are spiking and some actual gouging is going on. Some over $3/gal in DFW up from $2.

Irma could be a problem if it goes into the GOM. That thing is a monster. Louisiana could get some rain bands.

Can't really rely on hurricane predictions past the 4-5 day mark. It will probably be steered north by the cold front moving through TX tomorrow.

No matter which way it goes, that huge footprint will rain all over a lot of parades in Florida for sure.

Well, since I started this thread, I used about a gallon of gas. Still got plenty.
