> 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...

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...
