Hurricane models are showing impact anywhere from Corpus Christi, Texas to New Orleans, La. That coastal area is the heart of the U.S. oil and petrochemicals industry. Probably a 90% chance that it only becomes a Cat-1 or 2, does some local damage and then moves on. It's that other 10% that we worry about. The gulf is very warm now and has more than enough heat potential to support a powerful major hurricane. Conditions are ripe for rapid intensification on Sunday and Monday.

Based on available information, I don't "expect oil rigs to shut down."
Have you boarded up your windows and evacuated?
What's wrong with people?
