Hey, you think I put potential Gulf of Mexico storms on here only because the Worldwide Headquarters is located in the swamp?

Au contraire.

Think beyond the obvious!

And I quote,

“Shell has begun evacuating non-essential personnel from its platforms and operations in the Gulf of Mexico in advance of a tropical disturbance off the Florida coast. Precautionary evacuations began today in which 300 people were brought inshore. The company plans to evacuate about 400 more people Wednesday, the company said. Production has not been impacted.”

That’s all the info oil traders need to start the engines revving tomorrow.
