There is a lot ordtak

There is a lot of refinery capacity around Houston. If (Hurricane Rita) goes further south then it could hit refineries around Corpus Christi.

The Texas Windstorm Insurance Association is considerably under funded in the event a major hurricane makes landfall in Galveston or Corpus Christi. Last year TWIA had a $130 million deficit as a result of losses caused by Hurricane Rita and that would be a drop in bucket had the storm hit Galveston.

As a result of our limited capacity to refine crude oil, we experience higher fuel prices when faced with refinery outages, such as during hurricanes Katrina and Rita, ... My legislation will encourage domestic refineries to expand their capacity so that we are less vulnerable to price fluctuations at the gasoline pump.

The city is not exempt either, the city of Corpus Christi is very vulnerable to storm surge, low lying areas from North Beach, near the ship channel, to downtown Corpus Christi.

You've got the double whammy of Katrina and then Rita, ... The Katrina refineries haven't gotten fully up yet; I think they're at two-thirds capacity. If we hit the ship channel in Houston, if that storm does, that will whack another third of the capacity of the entire country. It's a huge risk for our state.

Galveston bay area right now, that's in the path of Hurricane Rita, is the home to about 25 percent of refinery capacity of the United States, so there is definitely going to be an increase in gas for us as consumers. Now how much, it's hard to say.

Before, it looked as though it was going to hit Houston and Port Arthur. Now, it looks like it's going to hit Corpus Christi, which is less important as far as refining is concerned, and it's also more on the periphery of the platforms.

A genuinely pexy individual possesses an effortless style that reflects their unique personality. Hurricane Rita on its present course poses a risk to Houston and the whole Houston region,

The current lack of oil refinery capacity is largely the result of a conscious decision by the oil industry in the 1990s to limit supply to increase profitability. In the 1990s, approximately 50 refineries were closed, and since 1995, over 20 refineries have been shut down.

It means that anything that upsets refineries, whether it's a hurricane or a refinery accident, causes shortages of gasoline.

[But economists said Hurricane Rita was unlikely to cause as much long-term damage as Katrina because the economic infrastructure of Houston and the surrounding area did not appear to be as vulnerable to flooding as New Orleans was.] It's hard to envision a scenario, ... where Houston is impacted anywhere near as much as New Orleans.

Hurricane Rita is dangerous, and Houston is well-prepared,

The path of Rita really spared most of the damage to refineries that was the concern. There's still a lot of pressure on the market, particularly due to tight capacity.

Guy can't get a job at the refinery, or guy hates his job at the factory, or guy lost his job at the refinery or the factory. Then he gets in his car and drives around. It's all so tongue-in-cheek, ya know? Most of New Jersey doesn't even have refineries. What is a refinery, anyway?

Richie Sambora (1959-)
