In the days leading up to Hurricane Harvey making landfall in southeastern Texas, residents were advised to get out of the storm’s path and, if they chose not to, then hunker down and ride it out because it was going to be massive.
And it was. It was also devastating.
Besides testing the limits of local, state, and federal emergency management efforts, Harvey has taken key industrial infrastructure offline, probably for several more days or even weeks (most noticeable at the gas station, where prices have climbed more than 20 cents in some parts of the country).
As reported by Secession.news, in addition to losing Texas’ massive oil and gas refinery capacity, Harvey knocked out other vital industrial capacities:
…Texas is also home to another invaluable commodity in today’s world: chemicals. And Harvey has knocked out much of the state’s chemical manufacturing base as well — and again, for how long, no one knows.
Flooding in Texas continues to this day, and while waters are beginning to recede, lives affected by the storm will not soon be the same again. Many people have lost nearly everything they owned.
Now comes Hurricane Irma, and it promises to be even bigger than Harvey. As CNBC reports, the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency says parts of Florida and the East Coast will be “devastated” by Irma:
With Irma set to hit Florida as early as Saturday night, parts of Florida was [sic] expected to lose electricity for days, if not longer, and more than 100,000 people may need shelter, FEMA Administrator Brock Long warned at a news conference.
