Will building material be in short supply?
Typically, after hurricanes and such, wood and other building materials are sent to the area that needs help, leaving local supplies limited, and spendy. Navy Chief, am I right about this?
Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!

Re: Will building material be in short supply?
Luckily Houston is near (relatively speaking) some rather large mills and forests that were not affected by the storm and it's the end of the prime building season so we shouldn't see much of an issue around here. We will probably have some inventory interruptions with chainsaws, generators, tarps, and mold remediation supplies though.
Gas is going to jump a bit I'm sure. Any word on if the refineries suffered damage?

WSJ says hurricane has "disrupted nearly 15% of U.S. refinery capacity as of Monday morning". I was hearing that number closer to 25% Much of the Gulf's crude production is offline, too. Sooner or later, there will be some sort of a ripple effect on prices up here.TJW815 wrote:Gas is going to jump a bit I'm sure. Any word on if the refineries suffered damage?
