Re: Katrina's Forecast Track Shifts West, Northern Gulf Needs to Watch

Quote:

I found this site a few months ago. Thanks to all for the great information.

I am in Fort Collins, Co. so my only direct connection to hurricanes is that Dr. Grey works at nearby Colorado State Univeristy. I know his group makes a forcast for the number of storms each season.


Anyway, here is my question.
How likely will Katrina disrupt oil production in the GOM? I know the forcast is changing and no knows were the storm will go.

It seems this is one storm that could affect everyone in the United States not just the unlucky ones along the coast.

Per CNN & Fox News the rigs began evacuating this afternoon. But that was before the shift west. They could clear out all of the LA coastal rigs tommorrow if the forecast path remains consistent tommorrow.
