NEW YORK - Tropical Storm Cristobal will sweep ashore late on Sunday in southern Louisiana, where more than more than 30 per cent of offshore energy production has halted, but the rains have already reached far inland across the US South.
"The impacts to the east and north-east of its centre are really extending hundreds of miles away," said Mr Dan Pydnynowski, a meteorologist with AccuWeather Inc. Its disorganised shape will rob it of much of its power, keeping damages to about US$200 million at the high end, said Mr Chuck Watson, a disaster modeller with Enki Research in Savannah, Georgia."Once it moves inland, the winds will die down quickly," Mr Pydynowski said."Later tomorrow when it gets to Arkansas and eventually Missouri, it will accelerate northward and then northeastward.
Across the Gulf, 174 platforms have been evacuated, shutting down 33 per cent of crude output and 31.5 per cent of natural gas production there, according to the US Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement. RAIN SPREADS NORTH The US crude complex has also come under pressure, with the storm potentially affecting logistics in the Gulf and causing a backup of supplies, according to market participants.
