Hurricane Harvey Effect

A lot can happen in a year-but 2017 was particularly eventful when it came to how we travel the world. Mother Nature rewrote the travel map: Three hurricanes of extraordinary strength crashed into Texas, Florida, the Caribbean, and Puerto Rico this year; the effects of Harvey, Irma, and Maria continue in nearly every place that they were felt.

US President Donald Trump flew to Houston on Saturday to meet with victims of Hurricane Harvey and see the effects of the record-setting storm while he presses for a multi-billion-dollar aid package.

Hurricane Harvey has killed at least 35 people and brought record flooding to the U.S. oil heartland of Texas, paralysing at least 4.4 million barrels per day (bpd) of refining capacity.
