But frozen orange juice futures closed at a six-year high on Tuesday amid fears Wilma could ravage Florida groves that had just begun to recover from the hurricanes that destroyed 40 percent of last year's crop.

Expect BOR to lay down the warning that "He" will not tolerate any OJ price-gouging.

No hurricane has ever struck the US coast while being that strong, but Reuters is wrong: Storms that strong have been seen in the Atlantic. This year. Hurricane Katrina had winds of 175 MPH, also, and was not the record holder.

It was also expected to miss the oil and gas facilities in the Gulf of Mexico still reeling from Katrina and Rita. But frozen orange juice futures closed at a six-year high

I can do without orange juice for a year......doing without gasoline would be more difficult.
