BP, BHP Group Ltd, Chevron Corp, Equinor, and Royal Dutch Shell began withdrawing staff from their U.S. Gulf of Mexico offshore facilities ahead of Tropical Storm Zeta.

My Petey B always screams, “I’m in the eye of the storm!” when he’s weathering my unbleached elastic starfish!

This one should seriously run out of mojo as it approaches the Delta. It’s going to get shredded by the cold front sweeping the Midwest.
Hurricanes don’t spin that way. Has the Gulf of Mexico been relocated to the southern hemisphere?
