- 10:45pm CDT, Monday -

Sandy made landfall along the New Jersey coast earlier Monday evening sometime around 7:30pm CDT wreaking havoc to all in its path. We now wait for the sun to come up to see just how bad it all was during and after landfall. Going to be real bad in a lot of places I’m afraid with deaths and injuries on top of it. Our prayers go out to all those that got hurt the most, to self and properties.

* AP brings us the following report and it starts off like this... Oil prices shot above $80 a barrel Monday as a weakened U.S. dollar created more turbulence in energy markets than a tropical storm heading into the Gulf of Mexico... Ida had helped push crude prices higher all morning, but just as the then-hurricane was demoted to a tropical storm, the euro pushed passed the $1.50 level for the first time this month and sent oil even higher...

UPDATE 1-Exxon US Gulf operations back to normal after Ida

.

> Reuters has this informative report that starts off like this... Tropical Storm Ida had been downgraded to a tropical depression by the time it came ashore at Dauphin Island, Alabama, near Mobile Bay, on Tuesday at 5:40 a.m. CST (1140 GMT) and the National Hurricane Center reduced it to 'extratropical' status as its remnants crossed Florida, Alabama and Georgia Tuesday. Energy experts predicted that energy production operations that had been shut down ahead of the storm would return to normal by the end of Tuesday or early Wednesday... Energy companies had shut 29.6 percent of oil production and 27.5 percent of natural gas output in the Gulf of Mexico as of Monday as the storm spun through the region. At its peak, Ida had been a late-season Category 2 hurricane. The Gulf is the source of 25 percent of U.S. domestically produced oil and 15 percent of natural gas. About 40 percent of U.S. refining capacity is located on the Gulf Coast...

Oil dropped as much as 1.9 percent as the U.S. currency rose, curbing the appeal of commodities to investors. Ida’s sustained winds have dropped to 35 miles (56 kilometers) per hour from 45 mph earlier, the National Hurricane Center said on its Web site. Producers are preparing to resume operations...
