for the most part they are evacuated....Andrew, Rita, Katrina tore through the GOM and fricked up some oil platforms because of the paths they both took....

For those wondering, here is Allison vs the WPC Forecast for Harvey:
Yeah, those Allison totals in Texas were a bit sporadic. Houston got like 37-40 inches, but the more widespread crazy totals were in SE LA.

The leading eyewall is looking good on radar

What are the sub surface effects of a hurricane? Does it have a noticible impact on marine life below 10 to 20 feet down? If you were in a submarine would there be any effect at all at that depth, turbulence in the water or anything?

Good question. Not sure on the answer.
Posted on 8/25/17 at 11:15 am to DavidTheGnome
I'm sure marine life can detect the pressure change.

Nope Still out here. Hell my company isn't even thinking about an evacuation.

due to coriolis effect, and the movement of water due to wind, hurricanes actually create upwelling in the Gulf of Mexico.
Katrina was strong enough it was affecting the bottom of the Gulf of mexico when it crossed.
the entire water column. (~3000 m)

A hurricane churns water up from below.

Which platform are you on?
Posted on 8/25/17 at 11:17 am to Randald2
Fieldwood?
Posted on 8/25/17 at 11:18 am to DavidTheGnome
Yes, most are evacuated at the earliest signs and all drilling operations are shut down. Everything is secured or stored on the platform.
These structures are built to withstand hurricane force winds.
ETA: Depending on how bad it is, some platforms do suffer damage. Most standards now are able to withstand high winds that come with these storms.

That's nuts.

Oh. Well you're 300 miles from the storm.

Family friend of ours is an officer on a fast attack sub, told us they just dive below hurricanes and it's smooth sailing.

Are y'all still doing shift work? Or is everyone hunkered down inside?

Looks like the cloud tops have warmed in the last hour or so. That's a good thing for the time being.
