MIAMI (AP) – Tropical Storm Debby churned over the northern Gulf of Mexico early Sunday, interfering with oil and gas production and putting officials on alert for flooding and strong winds from Texas to Florida ..

The center of Debby was expected to linger in the Gulf over the next few days with no landfall in the immediate forecast. And while the storm's track remained far from certain, the hurricane center said Debby was forecast to continue a slow northward trek during the day Sunday.

Some strengthening is expected and Debby could be near hurricane force winds by Monday night.

Forecasters warned of up to six inches of rain along the coast, with isolated amounts of 10 inches.

It was the first time four tropical storms have been recorded before July 1 during the Atlantic hurricane season since record keeping began in 1851.

Debby forced the suspension of 8 percent of the region's oil and gas production.

The government reported that nine production platforms and one drilling rig were evacuated. The suspended crude production amounts to about 2 percent of U.Sproduction and about 0.1 percent of global production. The reduced production is not expected to impact oil prices unless the storm strengthens and forces more production platforms to close.

    We need a tropical storm in the Gulf to give us some rain in Texas.

    I've lived on the Texas gulf coast for 8 years this has always been an issue. In fact here, we have a watch group that looks for price gouging at the pump when a hurricane is for sure going to make land fall. Many places have been nailed for raising gas prices before evacuations begin..

    Yes, I knew this was hurricane season, but I'm sure the GOP will try to blame that on Obama as well.

    Quite the opposite.

    0bozo will use ANY and EVERY excuse, conceivable to conflate issues and distract from his pathetic incompetence and dismal failures.

    A Vet can still have a military related occupation and is under no obligation to respect a treasonous bastard, parading in a position he is not eligible to hold.

    I'll just start with the basics and it's solely up to yourself if you choose to remain in the dark or get educated about how we got here and why.
    I wont even get into circumventing Congress, the assassination of an American citizen without due process or the murder of Brian Terry.
    These two links are lengthy and what you do with them is your choice.

    Frankly, I couldn't care less.

    Steeeetiiiiike THREE.

    The program under Bush was called Wide Receiver, where the guns were RFID chipped by the dealers, sold to straw buyers and tracked.
    The Mexican govt. was full aware of the program and it was ended in 2007 without incident.

    Fast & Furious purposely allowed guns to walk into Mexico without the Mexican govt's knowledge, they weren't tracked in any manner and over 2,000 are now in the hands of drug cartel member and human traffickers.

    The two programs had nothing in common,. the first being a sting operation and the latter being a supply line to criminals for political purposes in which hundreds of people lost their lives.

    Wide receiver was ended neatly two years before the jackass usurped the office and the blood of Brian Terry is on 0bozo's, Holder's and Nappytano's paws.

    The cover-up will be the end of this administration. There's a video just uncovered from 2009 with Robert Gibbs and Nappytano talking about their new Gunrunning program at the direction of 0bozo and mention tracking (which never happened) in a televised press conference.

    Their claims that nobody knew about it just became perjury.

    Okay man! Whatever you say, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't go over well if your Commanding Officer saw what you were just telling me.

    I'm a vet, too. No part confuses me.

    Seems to me people like you, that weren't proud to serve your country, blamed Bush for the flood down south a few years ago.
    That would make you treasonous. You're no vet. If you begrudgingly put in your time, you don't deserve to call yourself a vet. Get yourself a truthful source of information. Stay away from the Obamaganda indoctrination.
