Gas prices rise following a hurricane because they know many people need to evacuate and they think it's the perfect opportunity to make an extra couple bucks.

They usually rise because more people are evacuating the area and a lot of people need gas so gas companies take advantage of this and raise their gas price so they can make a profit off the hurricane.
