Ike and the Oil Rigs

DateThursday, September 11, 2008 at 03:20PM

Hurricane trackers at the National Hurricane Center continue to update the path of Hurricane Ike, which now looks as if it will graze the area of the Gulf that has the densest concentration of oil and gas platforms. Click the thumbnail to see the path of the storm overlaid on a map of oil platforms.

Ike is still a category 2 hurricane with winds of 100 mph, but is expected to strengthen into a "major" category 3 hurricane before making landfall at around midnight Friday (tomorrow).
