AccuWeather: Gulf Coast at risk for busy ‘07 hurricane season
USA Today – Mar 27, 2007
After a quiet hurricane season last year Florida and other Gulf Coast states likely will be hit with fewer storms than during the active 2005 season which spawned the massive hurricanes Katrina and Rita. But the storms forecast for the region will pack a punch. “We will not get anywhere near the amount of storms that we did in 2005 but the intensity of the storms we do get will be of major concern” Joe Bastardi chief hurricane forecaster for AccuWeather… gasoline prices reached a record high of $3. 057 per gallon after Katrina which caused oil refineries to shut down and companies to evacuate workers from oil and gas producing rigs in the Gulf. After Hurricane Rita hit the region a month after Katrina as much as 14% of U. refinery capacity was shut and about 80% of crude oil and 66% of natural gas production were down for months. Bastardi also predicted the Northeast would likely be a target for strong storms for the next 10 years. “Last year the Northeast may have dodged a bullet but unfortunately you can only be lucky for so long.
