GALVESTON, Texas (Reuters) - Cars clogged Texas highways with more than a million people fleeing Hurricane Rita on Thursday as the Category 5 storm roared through the Gulf of Mexico on a potentially catastrophic course.
Heavy traffic jammed highways from Corpus Christi in southern Texas into Louisiana as coastal residents, heeding the lessons of Hurricane Katrina, headed inland to escape what has become one of the most intense storms on record.
The National Hurricane Center said the path of Rita, with top winds dropping slightly to 165 mph (265 kph), had shifted toward the north. It appeared to be headed toward Galveston and Houston, the nation's fourth largest city and center of the U.S. oil industry.
As Rita neared, Exxon Mobil said it was closing the biggest U.S. oil refinery in Baytown, Texas and another in Beaumont, 90 miles east.
The closings, combined with earlier shutdowns due to Rita and Katrina three weeks ago, raised to at least 12 the number of U.S. refineries out of commission. Together, they had nearly 20 percent of U.S. refining capacity, raising the specter of serious gasoline shortages in the days ahead.
A hurricane warning was in effect from Port O'Connor, Texas, to Morgan City, Louisiana.
Rita was expected to lose a little steam as it neared land, but was still forecast to hit Texas as no less than a Category 3 storm with winds of up to 130 mph (209 kph).
"It's not a good picture for us at this point," said a grim Galveston city manager Steve LeBlanc. "We're in for a historic storm."
Weather forecasters told Galveston officials to expect Gulf waters to surge over a 17-foot (5-meter) seawall that protects the island city, he said. The seawall was constructed after a 1900 hurricane that killed 8,000 people in the worst U.S. natural disaster.
Houston, headquarters to many large energy firms, was expecting flooding from a storm surge in Galveston Bay and up to 18 inches of rain, weather forecasters said.
As of 11 a.m. EDT, Rita's center was about 460 miles southeast of Galveston and 445 miles southeast of Port Arthur with hurricane-force winds that extended 85 miles from its center. It was moving west-northwest at about 9 mph (15 kph), the hurricane center said.
Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco urged coastal communities to evacuate as forecasts indicated Rita would come closer to state than previously thought.
SLOW JOURNEY
People began flooding out of the coastal region on Wednesday and the mass exodus continued on Thursday. Residents of the island city of Galveston, Corpus Christi and low-lying parts of Houston 50 miles inland were among the 1.3 million Texans told to evacuate.
Bumper-to-bumper traffic jams filled the region's highways. Area stores were scrambling to keep supplies on the shelves while gas stations with fuel to sell dwindled to a precious few.
"I'm leaving. I'm just not going to chance it," said Rebecca Henson, 23, in Galveston, as she prepared to head north from the island.
"When they said it was going to hit Corpus Christi, that was OK, but I don't want to be hit dead on," she said.
"I don't think they would have made this big a deal about it before, but Katrina has made everybody want to get out," said Karen Mclinjoy, who was in a Houston traffic jam trying to get to Dallas, 240 miles north.
The departure of so many reminded of similar scenes just three weeks before in New Orleans as Hurricane Katrina came ashore and most in the city of 450,000 people, many of them to Texas.
Federal and Texas officials moved quickly to put rescue efforts in place to avoid the chaotic scenes of death, violence and looting that befell New Orleans when rescue operations there floundered.
At the White House, President George W. Bush was briefed on preparations for dealing with Hurricane Rita and on the latest storm track and spoke with Texas Gov. Rick Perry.
Maj. Gen. Charles Rodriguez of the Texas National Guard told CNN they have 3,500 troops on the ground and expect to have 5,000 by Friday evening and Saturday morning.
City officials in New Orleans, 350 miles east of Houston, evacuated people on Wednesday and were prepared to put more on buses out of the city if Rita turned in its direction.
Rita, still a small storm at that point, brushed across the Florida Keys on Tuesday, but did little damage.
It turned into a brute that filled half the Gulf on Wednesday and sent energy companies scurrying to evacuate production platforms in the rich oil and gas fields offshore that produce a third of U.S. oil.
About 73 percent of total offshore oil production and 47 percent of natural gas output was shut in as of Wednesday, according to the U.S. Minerals Management Service.

fuckin gas stations see this as a opportunity, do you know that 50% of the gas for vehicles that california uses comes from CALIFORNIA. so they are just fucking us over. there is a BIGGG investigation going on right now. so when gas prices go up thats BS cuz we shouldnt be paying for the rise in price when it doesnt affect us.
as for people moving here?? yah right!! they cant afford this area, lets see... 600k for a 30yr old home or 150k for a new home in texas....haha
