The tropical depression that has been out there is now Laura. It's not a direct threat to WDW but is likely to bring inclement conditions to the area.

This thing is going to be Cat 4 when it makes landfall on the East Texas / West Louisiana coast. Storm surge will be 15 feet. Hope people get out fast.

Looks like marco will fizzle and Laura is pulling it east. They don't need that. Everyone ready for a spike in gas prices as platforms and refineries shut down?
It will be interesting to see if there is a spike in gas prices I imagine that demand for gas is still down overall, given current prices and also the lesser amount of traffic in the commute windows. So, with lower demand, would a temporary shut down really limit output, or would the refineries just pull from existing inventory? Not sure how all that works, just wondering if this plays out any different from the past...
