Think. Pray. This is a dire time.

Agreed, Andy. Gas prices are incredibly trivial compared to what's happening in the affected states. After extensively watching coverage of the damage tonight, and the rescue teams searching for the trapped/dead, I have never seen more sobering sights other than 9/11. The scale of complete destruction is unimagineably large. The area is in chaos. People have no food or water. Stores are being looted right and left, with the police able to do little to nothing about it. People have no idea if their relatives made it through the storm or are dead. Those who lived are left with nothing except their lives--which are now forever changed.
--And we're complaining about how much a gallon of gas for the cars we can still drive, in our damage free cities costs.
Puts things in perspective, doesn't it?
