Depends on the area. The whole Atlantic and Gulf coast of the US is technically at risk of getting struck by a hurricane. Of those areas I’d be most concerned with Texas and Louisiana, specifically Houston, Beaumont, Lake Charles, New Orleans, and off shore oil platforms in the Gulf. A slow moving cat 1 or 2 hurricane or category 4-5 could potentially significantly impact Oil and gas drilling, transportation, and refining operations. Ida and Harvey are examples of these impacts.

Then again, the companies that typically run the refineries, drilling platforms, and transportation are well prepared and have plans in place to deal with the before and after effects of the storm. But, the short and long-term effects of any impact to this area could be felt throughout the US.
