FILE - In this Aug. 31, 2017, file photo, employee Bryan Herrera holds a makeshift sign that reads, "Out of Gas," as he stands outside the Shell filling station where he works, in north Dallas. Records show that Texas' chief oil and gas regulator Kim Corley was on vacation in the critical days surrounding Hurricane Harvey as fuel shortages became rampant and industrial tanks spilled. Corley is a former Shell Oil executive and was executive director of the Texas Railroad Commission since 2016. Her work calendar obtained by The Associated Press showed her on vacation for at least 11 days before and after Harvey made landfall. Corley abruptly resigned last week.
