YIKES Harvey Just Shut Down Gas Supply to These States Is One of them Yours

The devastation from Hurricane Harvey has been tragic for sure.

It continues in Houston and surrounding areas, so we should continue to pray for those people.

But the problems from Harvey are not contained just to Texas.

There's flash flood warnings in Tennessee for the next 2 days.

And now, a major pipeline is shutting down.

This will happen today.

The Colonial pipeline supplies over 100 million gallons of heating oil, gasoline and aviation

fuel to the East Coast every single day.

And it's about to be completely closed.

What's worse is that 2 east coast refineries have already run out of gas.

What does that mean to you?

YOU BETTER GO FILL UP!

Reuters reported:

"'I've never seen a situation this bad,' said one East Coast market source." and;

"Imports can't make up for this.

… This is going to be the worst thing the U.S. has seen in decades from an energy standpoint."

Not wanting to start something crazy, but you know what's about to happen: gas prices

will climb, and that's if you can find gas.

I expect to see those signs as I pull up to the pump, the ones that say "out of gas."

Which is never good if you're trying to get to work, or get you kids to school….

Been there, done that!

It's good to be prepared, so I recommend filling up now.

But please don't be greedy, ya'll.

Leave some gas for the next person.

We are all Americans and we

are all in

this together!

'Brexit will RIP a hole into EU budget' More German states TERRIFIED of funding cuts

Delegates from the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (MWP) are in Brussels for a series of talks and cash is high on the agenda.

MWP Social Democrat spokesman Thomas Krüger said: "We delegates want to hear where cuts will have to be made in future, and what possible reductions in the structural aid could mean for the north-east." Mr Kruger said Brexit would "rip a hole of around €10billion (£9.2bn) into the EU budget" and that a total of €28billion (£26bn) had been reserved for structural support in the German states until 2021.   .

Mr Kruger said the subject of the multi-annual financial framework will be discussed with Jens Geier, the chairman of the Committee on Budgets.

The MWP delegation follows other key German states wanting to know where they will stand financially once the UK stops pouring cash into the bloc.

Brandenburg finance minister Christian Gorke said the state must not be disadvantaged by the future budget savings by Brussels. The German state surrounds the capital of Berlin and depends on EU funds.   .

Mr Gorke said: "As a land area we are dependent on funds from Brussels." About half of the state of Brandenburgs area is used for agriculture and roughly another third is covered by forests.

Every year, Brussels contributes around £304million in direct payments to Brandenburg farmers and around £276m to the allocation of structural funds.

Mr Gorke said: "Challenges for Brandenburg will not be smaller." Bodo Ramelow, prime minister of Thuringlia, a federal state in central Germany with two million residents, has also called for more support.

Thuringia leader Mr Ramelow, meanwhile, will travel to Brussels next week over fears the state will drop out of EU funding for weaker regions after 2020 because of improved economic performance.

Britain is a major contributor to the EU along with Germany, France and the Netherlands and other countries might have to cough up more cash to make up for the shortfall after Brexit.  This week Brussels insisted the UK would have to pay double contributions to the EU when it quits the bloc.  An EU diplomat said they will demand budget payment linked to a transitional deal separately to the divorces payout.  Brussels is already demanding a bumper Brexit bill payout from the Britain, expected to be up to £90billion (£82bn), which it says is required to cover budget commitments the UK has already signed up to.
