major flooding could crimp refinery runs, providing temporary spike in downstream products' prices - not a bad bet for those inclined. not much downside with spike possible

"We expect Harvey to redevelop and gain some strength over the western part of the Gulf of Mexico spanning Wednesday to early Friday," according to AccuWeather Hurricane Expert Dan Kottlowski.
Heavy rain, gusty thunderstorms and rough surf are to be expected in coastal Texas and northeastern Mexico as Harvey approaches.
The main threat from Harvey is likely to be flooding.
"There is the potential for heavy rainfall and significant flooding in the region, even if Harvey remains weak," Kottlowski said.
From 10 to 20 inches of rain could lead to a flooding disaster, but that could happen if Harvey stalls.
The concern would be for not only flash and urban flooding, but also major river flooding.
Should Harvey travel farther north along the Texas coast, heavy rain and the risk of flooding will correspondingly expand northward along the Gulf coast to perhaps Louisiana.
A storm that tracks farther north is also likely to be stronger and produce more wind impacts because it has more time to spend over the warm waters of the western Gulf of Mexico.
