[0:01] about 1,200 uh 2,111.
[0:04] Now I'm going to just see if you can see
[0:06] this. It's I I'll get this developed
[0:07] properly for for air, but um you can see
[0:10] this map here. There's a refinery that's
[0:12] going from from Houston. We'll just pull
[0:14] that back. I'll I'll just get it up here
[0:15] so you can see it. Wolf, can you kind of
[0:17] see that?
[0:17] >> Yeah, we can see it. That's good.
[0:18] >> Okay. So, that that refinery is going
[0:20] from Louisiana to Houston. That's a
[0:22] refined pipeline. It's called the
[0:24] Explorer Pipeline. It's one of the major
[0:26] pipelines in the country. It takes
[0:28] refined products, diesel, jet fuel, and
[0:30] gasoline up through to St. Louis, which
[0:34] is a major distribution center, and then
[0:35] to Chicago. These are two major
[0:37] distribution centers in the country.

[0:44] Katrina when the line that was going to
[0:46] the Northeast was shut down, you saw
[0:48] shortages in certain places. Now, CNN
[0:50] has called 120 gas stations in the
[0:53] Houston area. 82 of them are not
[0:55] answering the phone. We do know some of
[0:56] those are shut. 31 of them are out of
[0:59] gas. Seven of them as of about 20
[1:00] minutes ago had gas, might be running
[1:02] out. Some of them are evacuating. We are
[1:05] now seeing this is not a long-term
[1:07] situation, Wolf. This is not a shortage
[1:09] of oil. It is refineries that have shut
[1:11] down. Almost all of the 26 refineries in
[1:13] the region are shut down now. And we are
[1:15] going to see gas issues in the next 1 to
[1:18] 3 weeks. That's from the Department of
[1:19] Energy.
[1:19] >> We'll feel it here. The impac
