I found one here: http://gom.rigzone.com/rita.asp

thanks nice map.If it stays the way it is that will miss many rigs lets pray it stays south like the track has right now.

Thanks for that post,.

Missing rigs to the south by 40-50 miles is not enough. I work for Pride Offshore and we have 5 rigs in the High Island area and a few in West Cameron. They have all be evacuated. In Katrina, we lost one of our smaller rigs. It isn't looking to good for the 5 we have in that area. 40-50 miles away from the center to the N/E and your talking about major waves in access of 30+ feet.Many of the structures in that area are old and falling apart. Taht rigzone site only shows drilling/workover contractor facilities. There are many more permanant structures in that area that are not on that map. It will not be good for the western Gulf this time around.
