since some of the platforms haven't been worked since Thursday, there is going to be a major loss of production from the GOM.
Plus since this is THE hub for SuperTankers, a lot of oil is just sitting.

There has been a pretty good wooble to the NNW from due West on the last few frames of the New Orleans radar.
I expect this to happen a few more times, but it doesn't appear to be wobbling to the east at all.

It's not just the port that is the issue - a significant percentage of the oil is refined by NO. This will be out of commission for sometime - we are going to have a HUGE spike in gas prices.

I also heard earlier today that some of those platforms may fail and just fall into the water. Thankfully they have some sort of emergency apparatus on the seabed so, hopefully, there won't be oil flowing unchecked into the Gulf.
