3. What Was the Time on This Figure?

Wonder if anyone has any info on the ages of these refineries and also the products they are geared to make? The otherr thing that isn't on here is the docking stations.

12. It must hurt Mother Earth when they stick those drills in.

5. Local TV News says be prepared for $5.00 gas

Then they tell everyone to try not topping off your tank

Sure, your going to double the price and we are not going to rush out and fill the tank.

6. Turn to East messing up a bunch more offshore rigs

plus Port Arthur refineries get nailed.

If $4 gas comes out of this maybe will see more hybrids coming out of Detroit and just maybe we can begin to work on this oil addiction.

10. speaking of East

sea surface temps in the Caribbean are very warm right now...a wonderful spawning ground for those tropical depressions coming out of Africa.


Expect more hurricanes before season is out.

7. similar map on the front page of todays SF Chron (identical predictions)

...is about 12 hrs out of date. I'm betting central landfall to the east of the path predicted on this map, right at Galveston or Port Author. Lot of drilling rigs out there....

11. no matter what

due to the diameter of this bitch were fucked in the wallet after the damage is done

13. Why are you predicting Galveston & Port Arthur?

I had thought it was heading for Galveston, but this map indicates pretty far from there.

15. Weee! How fun. This may just be the Coup de Gras.

[Lindacooks]

16. Wow - looks like it's aiming right for the largest concentration

of refineries and derricks. And remember, the worst destruction will be on the east, or right side, of the hurricane.

[NYC]

18. Thanks. It looks as though it will hit land east of Galveston.

Quite a difference from the map above. Still 24 hours or more till landfall.
