My husband works in the oil production industry. He says he expects gas to go up 40 to 50 cents a gallon after this hurricane. blah.
He also had a report of an off shore rig with a reading of 215 mph before the instrumentation and pump were blown off. That was about an hour ago.
Prayers... prayers... prayers for all in the path of this hurricane!

Holy cow!
Those sure are very strong winds.

FNC's weather guy was pulling no punches earlier. He seems more like a sports analyst but reminded us that the hurricane hunter aircraft only takes a snapshot of a few areas. There can easily be higher winds than what is recorded.
