I’ve always wondered this myself....

Don’t know what the status of any of stacked fleets off Cameron are these days but would
Imagine it could be pretty ugly tomorrow morning.

There are no words to describe the power of the ocean.

Wells usually get shut in and rigs evacuated. Mobile units just get out of the way.
