Two sensations that work together, so you can play together. Harveys path cut through the heart of the u. S. Oil industry. The storm is fueling an increase in gasoline prices nationwide. Here is kris van cleave. Reporter as Hurricane Harvey slammed into the texas coast it shut down some of the biggest oil and gas refineries in the country. The houston area accounts for more than a quarter of the nations gasoline production. This map shows all oil and gas operations in the storms path. Nearly 20 of the countrys Refining Capacity is offline. Thats 2. 5 Million Barrels a day. Including the exxon mobile refinery in baytown, texas, americas second largest, typically producing 560,000 barrels daily. Gas prices are 4 cents nationally already. Labor day will be more expensive. Anticipated prices would go up 5 cents around the country. 10 cents or hire. Triple a expects those places to include hard hit gulf states. A lot yet to be noechblt in terms of damage. If refiners are down for an extended period of time we could see higher gas prices upward of 20 cents. 30 cents. When katrina devastated new orleans, gas prices spiked nationally by 46 cents. Any increase in energy costs from harvey could extend beyond pain at the pump. People will see higher prices, trickle through. Not just higher gas prices but also perhaps higher price for fruits, vegetables, costs more to get them to market. And, a higher price for the Airline Ticket to visit your mother at christmas time. Gas price spikes after a hurricane are not uncommon. Theyre typically shortlived. Assuming the refineries are able to get back on line quickly. The longer they say offline, the larger the price increase, longer it will last. Anthony. President trump will travel to texas later today to get a firsthand look at the devastation in and around houston. Mr. Trump discussed the trip during a News Conference yesterday with the president of finland. Im wondering what you can tell the people of texas to expect in terms of longterm Recovery Efforts and in particular you have been feuding with some key congressional leaders, you have also threatened a Government Shutdown potentially next month over border wall funding. Are these going to hamper long term, the funding that will be needed long term for recovery. No, i think that, you are going to see rapid action from congress. Certainly from the president. And, and, you are going to got your funding. Its a terrible tragedy. Your governor has been absolutely outstanding. And the job he has done. And this entire staff. And i will say that, that i just spoke with greg, he is, he is 24 7. We expect to have requests on our desk fairly soon. We think that, congress will, will, feel very very much the way i feel. In a very bipartisan way. That will be nice. But we think you are going to have what you need. And it will go fast. Does the situation make you reconsider the possibility of a Government Shutdown. I think it has nothing to do with. This is separate. This is going to go, very, very quickly. In e Hurricane Harvey hitting friday night you chose to pardon former sheriff joe arpaio. I wonder could you tell us what was behind your thinkingish urg a pardon for the sheriff what do you say to your critics, some in your own party say it was the wrong thing to do . Well, a lot of people think it was the right thing to do, john. Actually in the middle of a hurricane though friday evening. I assumed the ratings would be far higher than they would be normally. The hurricane was starting. I put it out, i pardoned. As we say, sheriff joe. He has done ape great job for the people of arizona. He is very strong on borders. Very strong on ill loo illegal immigration. He is loved in arizona. Thought he was treated unfairly when they came down with their big decision to go get him before the election voting started. As you know. He lost in a fairly close election. Would have within the election. They just hammered him before the election. I thought that was a very, very unfair, thing to do. In the aftermath, do you believe, cutting femas budget is the right thing to do. No, what is going to happen is the fema money is relatively small compared to the rebuilding money. So fema right now we have the funny necessary for, texas, and, louisiana, if we need. But the, the real number which will be many billions of dollars will go through congress. I think it will happen very quickly. It will go very fast. And, i want to congratulate you on the net work a great network. Thank you. If i may followup on one other question from earlier. Yes. Southern border wall. Is your plan to have mexico pay for the wall. It will one way or another. Mexico will pay for the wall. It may be through reimbursement. One way or another mexico will pay for the wall. Right now negotiating nafta. In my opinion, mexico has been very difficults they should be. Why wouldnt they be. They had a sweetheart deal for so many years. If i may follow up. Tuesday you said if we have off to close down our government we are building that wall. I hope that its not necessary. Let me tell you. I hope thats not necessary. If it is necessary, one of the worst storms in history has brought out the best in texantexans. We were struck by the many scenes of people coming to the aid of their neighbors. 10yearold jay vaughn and best friends franklin and de leon, 16, 14, ran through waist high floodwaters, to check on neighbors at their apartment complex in houston. When a truck stalled in high water, six teenagers took off their shirts and started pushing. In rockport, miguel juarez handed out free walter. The heb Grocery Store set up a mobile kitchen, providing free, hot meals. And there were rescues. Neighbors used their personal boats to rescue jane rhoads in friendswood. A woman named janice, was pulled from the water, by her son, and a neighbor. More than 2,000 rescues were made by National Guard and local authorities. Fortbend county sheriff, troy nells lifted a baby into an air bet. Houston swat officer carried Katherine Pham andyearold son to safety. And to add to that, anthony, tonight we learned there are more than 1, volunteer thousands in this Convention Sent secenter behind us helping texans. One reminder that people in texas have a big heart. Thanks norah. Thats the overnight news for tuesday. Its tuesday, august 29th, 2017. This is the cbs morning news. More rain, more flooding spells more trouble for texas. Ive been here all my life and i dont ever remember it raining this much for this long. The need is overwhelming.
