Same to you!! I don't know how the oil industry will take if another hurricane comes. Some of our suppliers don't have some major products now which big companies need to stay running.
Some rubber companies can't get rubber for tires. I talked to my buddy in Boston that works for Rebok and they have had soem hardships as well.
All the super majors are on allocation and ExxonMobil is in the best running at 100%. Some of the others are at 50,60, 70 or 80%. That's really hard when you are trying to grow a business. I think a few more hiccups may come, but another blow from this next storm and shut down refineries will be detrimental for a lot of people... Sorry to get off subject.
