Hurricane Harvey is described as catastrophic & life threatening.
Parts of Texas are braced for 35 plus inches of rain.

The impact on West Alabama is expected to be some rainfall next week & possibly higher gas prices. If employees of the Texas oil refineries can't get to work & those refineries shut down, we can expect a 5-15% increase in gas prices.

Tuscaloosa drivers will be filling their tanks this weekend in anticipation of the spike at the pump.
