To: My Favorite Headache
I was personally e-mailed photos today of one major floating production platform that is now flipped up-side-down - the major oil company that owns/operates this facility has yet to issue a press release.

Certainly if other producing facilities were hit this hard, then the problem is much more widespread than is being reported

BurbankKarl reported a specific rig being "adrift" after a towing cable snapped during Rita - it was something he picked up off a scanner - I'll go back and try to get the name.

The upside down platform is Chevron Typhoon. There is a press release about it on the Chevron website, but it states the platform "suffered serious damage" and fails to mention it is floating upside down. Pics are available if you google "Chevron Typhoon"
