Storm Season

The latest from the National Hurricane Centre.

Watch this loop and notice how Ophelia (Florida) seems to be feeding Nate (Bermuda) who seems to be feeding Maria (mid Atlantic off Newfoundland).... I'm not a meteorologist, but it looks errie from space anyway.

Foreign Aid and opinion roll in as U.S. aid payments try to find victims. Bush asks Congress for $59 billion.

Katrina banged down the door of U.S. oil. Notice the number of Gulf oil rigs in this pic from the Energy Information Admin- istration.

At least 20 of those rigs have gone missing...and they're huge beasts. There's at least 73 offshore rigs in Louisiana waters alone.
