How come hurricanes never had much affect on oil prices until recently?

Q: Like before 2005 when Katrina hit there were hurricanes in the Gulf that had little or no impact on oil prices but now in a post-Katrina world just the threat of a major hurricane in the Gulf makes the oil prices go up like crazy!

A: LOL I just asked the same question, I think they are using any excuse they can to raise the price, I just heard it on the radio that they might have a hurricane, so they were raising the price again, this makes no sense to me, I think our gov't thinks we are all fools
