A Sunday Facebook post from Houston area officials confirms evacuation of communication personnel from the Cypresswood station as crews worked to move staff to safety during Hurricane Harvey.
Sarah Wiesner, an Ottawa University graduate and Harris County digital media specialist, recalls warnings about Hurricane Harvey’s strength and growing flood risks as rainfall jumped from 12 to 20 then 30 inches in Houston, the nation’s fourth largest city. The report notes the storm’s uncertain categorization and lasting impact on the area.
Hurricane Harvey drove a jump in gas prices across the United States with the national average at 2.37 dollars, four cents above last week. Kansas averaged 2.21 dollars, up three cents, as Gulf Coast refiners faced shutdowns and reduced operations. Refineries and pipelines faced disruptions, and EPA waivers on gasoline standards were issued to ease potential shortages while officials cautioned prices could rise until damage assessments are clear.
