        <p>Hurricane Katrina, which in 2005 became the most expensive hurricane to hit the U.S., cost about $118 billion, while Hurricane Sandy cost about $75 billion.

If Houston were its own country, its economy would be the world&#x2019;s 30th largest, according to city statistics. Houston is the site of 18 Fortune 500 companies and the world&#x2019;s biggest medical complex, but it&#x2019;s synonymous with the Gulf Coast&#x2019;s oil sector, an industry suddenly hobbled.</p><h3>Ships at Sea</h3><p>Gasoline futures in New York extended gains a sixth session Tuesday as more than a million barrels of fuel-making capacity was knocked offline; and natural-gas fields and offshore-drilling rigs shut down. The motor fuel advanced 0.4 percent to $1.7183 a gallon at 5:09 a.m. New York time.</p><p>Ports along a 250-mile stretch of Texas coast were closed to tankers. Twenty-two vessels laden with a combined 15.3 million barrels of crude from as far afield as Brazil and Colombia were drifting off the coastline, waiting for the all clear.</p><p>Ten of the state&#x2019;s 25 refineries are shut down, accounting for about half the 6 million barrels per day of capacity, said Christi Craddick, chairman of the three-member Texas Railroad Commission, which regulates the industry. Companies will have to wait for floods to recede before they can evaluate damage, she said.</p><p>&#x201C;Hopefully within the next week to two weeks, we&#x2019;ll see refineries back online,&#x201D; Craddick said. &#xA0;</p><p><a itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="StoryLink" href="/news/terminal/OVE0AK6JTSEE" title="As Hurricane Harvey Floods Texas, Refineries Count Mounting Cost" class="terminal-news-story" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><meta itemprop="active" content="true"><meta itemprop="type" content="StoryLink"><meta itemprop="suid" content="OVE0AK6JTSEE">For Bloomberg&#x2019;s refinery outages and events page, click here</a></p><p>Harvey is expected to have little effect on U.S gross domestic product though could affect shipments of fuel to other parts of the country. Over the past 12 months, the region sent 3.5 million barrels a day of gasoline and diesel shipments to the U.S. east coast, according to a research note from JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. Still there are ample stocks of back-up fuel, the note said.</p><p>Further, as with most natural disasters, the rebuilding of damaged homes, businesses and infrastructure will later add to the economy, said Robert Dye, chief economist with Comerica Inc., a Dallas-based bank.</p><figure data-type="image" data-id="317115303" data-image-type="photo" data-image-size="full" data-align="center" style="max-width: 2200px;" class="figure-expandable"><div class="image"><div id="lazy-img-317115303" class="lazy-img"><style>#lazy-img-317115303:before{padding-top:66.31818181818183%;}</style><img src="https://assets.bwbx.io/images/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/iBPZHDyqYEB0/v0/60x-1.jpg" data-native-src="https://assets.bwbx.io/images/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/iBPZHDyqYEB0/v0/-1x-1.jpg" class="lazy-img__image"></div></div><figcaption><div class="news-figure-caption-text caption"><p>A Texas City Refinery as rain from Hurricane Harvey floods a road.</p></div><div class="news-figure-credit credit">Photographer: Brendan Smialowski/AFP via Getty Images</div></figcaption></figure><p>&#x201C;We start to actually see increased economic activity due to all the repair and rebuilding that&#x2019;s going to have to happen because of this storm,&#x201D; he said.</p><p>But the Texas labor market is tight, and incentives will be needed -- usually in the form of higher wages -- to pull in engineers, tradesman and laborers from around the region.

The state&#x2019;s 12,000-strong National Guard was activated, and volunteers joined emergency teams as thousands of people fled to rooftops and higher ground. Houston police rescued 3,052 people,&#xA0;Mayor Sylvester Turner said at a news conference Monday evening. A Coast Guard official said the agency was receiving more than 1,000 calls an hour.</p><p>Turner said about 4,800 residents had been evacuated to the George R. Brown Convention Center, one of the city&#x2019;s largest temporary shelters. He urged people to stay off the roads as darkness fell.</p><p>Slammed now by one hurricane, Houston was forged by another. The <a itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="StoryLink" href="https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/news/features/sep13/galveston.html" title="Link to Galveston Hurricane of 1900" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><meta itemprop="type" content="WebLink">1900 storm</a> hit nearby rival Galveston, then one of the country&#x2019;s busiest ports. It remains one of the deadliest natural disasters in U.S. history, causing more than 8,000 deaths.</p><p>Afterward, local officials pushed for a deepwater port in Houston. It opened in 1914, with then-President Woodrow Wilson celebrating by firing a cannon via remote control from Washington. The population took off, far outpacing Galveston&#x2019;s, and Houston became the leading city of Texas by 1930. From the bayous and marshes rose a metropolis.</p><p>&#x201C;This city will come back stronger than it was before Hurricane Harvey,&#x201D; Turner said. &#x201C;Anybody who bets against the city of Houston is a loser.&#x201D;</p><p><em>&#x2014; With assistance by Brian K Sullivan, Jennifer Epstein, Amanda Albright, Sonali Basak, Sheela Tobben, Christopher Condon, Arit John, Lauren Etter, Thomas Black, Lucia Kassai, Rebecca Spalding, and Kelly Gilblom</em></p><ol class="noscript-footnotes"></ol>
