Hurricane Ike Hits New Bern NC!
September 12th, 2008 Categories: What's Happening in New Bern Today
This time New Bern North Carolina has dodged the actual winds and rain of this major category 2 storm but the damage of this storm
can still be felt.
At the mere threat of this storm, panic ran rampant. In just 12 hours, Gas prices have jumped over 25%.
On Thursday the average price of gas was $3.59, today at 9 am it went to $4.59.
New Bern residents waited at the pumps 3 or 4 cars deep per pump to fill up before the stations changed the prices.
Raising gas prices is a horrid thing to do. It is despicable that the gas companies would line their pockets with the fear of a gas shortage.
Write to your elected officials to complain of this act or should I say attack.
For an update on the real Hurricane Ike go to the Weather Channel.
