What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAs we told you earlier, Chevron is moving non-essential staff off Gulf platforms. What's new: OilPrice says Shell and BP are pulling workers too.

  2. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorReuters says production is still normal, but OilPrice notes analysts see the storm as another complication for jittery oil markets. Three majors leaving. I'm glowing.

  3. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNon-essential staff, Dale. That's the same category as your personality, and nobody is evacuating you.

  4. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFair. I'd stay on the platform and film the waves for my bunker library.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorProduction is normal and the Dow is down point seven one percent. The storm is not yet the main character.
