I was planning on making the drive over to Starkville tomorrow for the game, but this gas crisis has my a little concerned. I'll be coming from SW
Arkansas and it's about a 4.5-5 hr trip, so it's not like i can just fill up my gas tank now and have enough for the trip. Should i be concerned that
I'm going to get to MS and there won't be any gas to be bought?

I'm headed to Jackson Sat. night to my folks' house, so I won't be headed back to Arkansas til Sunday afternoon, so i think most of the horrendous
weather will be gone by then.

exon on hwy 12 was out this afternoon. kroger was close, but has a truck on the way. There were lines at most stations at 4:00. I think there will be gas, but
it will be high.
Hey man, them ain't high heel sneakers,
And they sure don't look like cowboy boots.
And that ain't rock and roll you're playin'
And it sure ain't country or rhythm and blues.
You're singing a song about making love to your drummer,
Well, gay guitar pickers don't turn me on.
And we don't all get into Donna Summer,
Do you happen to know any old Hank Williams songs?
'Cause you see I'm a dinosaur,
I should have died out a long time before.
Have pity on a dinosaur.
Hand me my hat.
Excuse me ma'am, where's the door?

I was listening to the Schnitt (sp) show this afternoon and callers were giving gas updates from around the country...
$5.15 per gallon for regular outside of ATL $4.77 per gallon for regular around Knoxville Over $4.00 for regular in SC It was still reasonable in Biloxi at 4:00 this afternoon - I topped off my tank for $3.55 per gallon. |

.....telling people to rush out and get theuir gas. Maybe it wouldn't be as much of a problem. I just don't understand the human being sometimes. We think of ourselves as superior, intelligent creatures, then we act like stupid ass lower animals in situations like this. If people would just simply get their gas when they need it, then gas shortages and long lines at pumps probably wouldn't be as much of an issue. Oh well, it's as futile an argument as it is to expect Croom to change offensive philosophies. That's my sports reference. |

Gas at 5:30 pm Friday was 3.79 a gal with not even any long lines. Sam's and Walmart are probably 4-9 cebts cheaper.
We should be ok tonight, but tomorrow is another day

Yep, tomorrow's what's got me worried. The news has not been encouraging. And although they do like to hype things up, I think this has the potential
to be a very bad storm. And i'm worried that if we find out at first light that all hell's broken loose in Galveston and up the Houston Ship Canal,
then there's going to be a mass panic tomorrow.

I have a brother and sister (with Families) in LAke Jackson | #11 | ||

Posts: 37 09/12/08 06:35 PM |
The sister and her family went to College Station where a daughter is an Aggie.
The Brother and his wife went to houston to sit it out with their daughter and her family. Aggie location should be ok. Houston location sounds doubious to me. We're praying for both family's homes in Lake Jackson. The sister's house is close to a hugn drainage ditch that drains Lake Jackson 7 miles to the gulf, through Clute and then Freeport. That ditch scares the begeezes out of me because in heavy rain, it gets very full. In the hurricane it will overflow I'm certain, just don't know how far. They are a couple of blocks away. Youngest son's inlaws are in Beaumont, TX, close to NASA. They will catch the east side of the storm and went to Dallas. Man I'd hate to leave my house, not knowing. I'd hate to die in the storm, too. Brother and his son both work for Dow, so they are ther like it or not. Sister's family works in pharmacuetical, and are where their job is. |

Hell, at this point I'm not sure the storm even matters as far as this weekend's gas goes | #12 | ||

even with no storm, when every person in the city fills their tank up, they'll run out. It's not the storm that's causing the shortage right now,
it's everyone freaking out.
As far as Houston, most people there should be fine. They may have trouble the next week or two getting around, but if they planned ahead they'll be fine. At least in my understanding, the flood waters will recede from there, and they won't be flooded for a week at least, unlike New Orleans.

Thanks to all the panic and after listening to Talk Mississippi, I was headed to Starkville from the coast this AM, and when I got to Laurel I turned around
and came back home. I think I could have made it up there but wasn't sure there would be enough gas to make it back. Meanwhile here on the coast gas is
still 3.55 or so with very little panic evident. I do beleive however that there may be dire consequences due to this storm. we amy all be paying out the ass
the next few weeks/months.

Within the the hour there will be no gas in Hernando. Woman pulled up at the one beside me and put 5 gallons in just to top off. That my friends is why there
is no gas. Every idiot is coming and topping off.

Tomorrow is another day, but gas at the Winona I-55/Hwy 82 intersection was $3.69 this evening at the Exxon. Hoping it's the same when I head back home
after the game!

Thanks, I think we will just stay home and ride out Hurricane Auburn in front of the TV. In the Mobile area, gas went from $3.60 to $3.99 in a matter of hours.

Their philosophy is "scare ye, scare ye". It drives me nuts. They thrive off of death and destruction and are not happy if they don't get it.
They created the big Gustav panic here in Jackson. They fueled the Katrina gas panic. Now they are doing their best to get Jackson to freak out and use up all
the gas again. I wish someone would call these people out for what they are doing. I really despise the media.
