when it was first posted on the internet about the storm,the headline said" tropical storm erin threatens gas and oil facility's in texas coast" why do they always no matter what put that first? is it cause the oil companys are giving kickbacks to the news people so the oil companys have an excuse too raise the price of oil products? what about the people that lives are endangered from the storm and the other companys ? what about them?
Dean is approaching too, and not one headline about refinery/production risk. There is a reason for that, though. IT WILL NOT LAND ON THE TEXAS COAST. Or perhaps you are suggesting that each storm be followed by the sentence "THREAT TO LIFE !!!" ? Possible disruptions to the energy supply is big news. Deal with it.
Dean's track has been 'modified' and both named storms may affect the TX gulf coast. Storm-watchers can follow them here: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ In this case, Erin might extract enough heat from the Gulf so that Dean cannot re-invigorate there a few days later. We'll see. Those matters are elegantly portrayed here: http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/phod/cyclone/data/at.html
