Ralph,

I was not posting or hoping the magnitude of a particular storm. It is by nature, and I use that word, because we all seen the panic that came with Katrina at least 3/4 days in advance of landfall. The prices were hitting $6.00 a gallon in Atlanta. Then there after were still quite high. The nature of these storms causes panic especially the oil platforms and pipelines. It is a fact of life, that when a storm with the size and wind field potenial as Rita has, the concern for oil prices take a hit and spike up. That is all I was trying to relate to.
