Hurricane Harvey pounded Houston for the past week or so. We got word today while in Austin that people were lining up for gas in the Dallas area due to shortages. On the way back we found that the craziness started on the south side of the city, and there were huge lines at all the stations in our part of town. Apparently most of the gas supplied to Dallas comes from Houston, hence the panic over the shortage. Fortunately we don't drive that much and I don't anticipate major problems.
I returned the rental car, which turned into a fiasco of its own, and was able to run from the drop-off point home. It ended up being 5.25 miles instead of my usual distance, but that's okay since it was in the upper 80s and I went over a little on my Austin run the other day. I ran the whole way, including the big hill, to make up for the shorter distance. At least that's the way it worked in my mind.
