Did not sustain any damage where I live. I live in Louisiana near Lafayette. However, I work offshore on an oil platform that took a direct hit (eyewall). We have no word yet on the status of the platform. The company is conducting thorough inspections before restaffing facilities. We had several floating drilling rigs that broke anchor moorings and went adrift. Three production platforms are reported missing so far. Oil companies are assessing further damage today. Does anyonme know of any other platforms damaged besides the ones for Noble Energy?

Nautaulus (sp) took a 75 mile tour. :) Is that the same one you are speaking of? They know where it is and are working to secure it.

I thought about posting about these oil rigs last night, but didn't know if I should. Thanks for the info. :)

I know of 5 move adrift, think it may be Transcor? Oceanearing? Anyway, one company has 5 drifting. :)

I don't have to be a fly on the wall to know what those conversations are like. :)
