As if reversing the course of the Mississippi River, forcing hospitals to hunker down with sufferers that couldn’t be moved, and almost shutting off the power and internet in New Orleans wasn’t sufficient, Hurricane Ida has additionally disrupted oil and fuel manufacturing.

Although these refineries are nonetheless working, some count on oil and fuel costs to extend within the storm’s aftermath.

“It’s now a waiting game to assess whatever wind and flooding damage will be caused as the hurricane passes through the area,” Lipow stated.

The BSEE stated that oil and fuel manufacturing services would must be inspected after the storm passes. Facilities that aren’t broken will “be brought back online immediately,” however others which might be broken will take longer to begin again up.
