#HurricaneBeryl forecasts turning more worrisome for Texas: Corpus Christi, a major hub for oil and gas exports, is right now in the center of the predicted swath of the fiercest winds. People in Galveston, Houston and Louisiana should keep alert too. www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/grap...

And yes, I said oil and gas EXPORTS. As in, the United States makes so much (as the world's top producer of both oil and natural gas) that it is selling a lot of it to other countries. Contrary to what some people you may have heard have been implying.

Beryl has already been the first Category 4 hurricane to form in the North Atlantic in June (in records dating back to 1851), and the earliest-ever Cat 5. Though now a tropical storm, it's expected to regain hurricane strength before hitting the Gulf Coast in the coming days.
