Hurricane Isaias has forced the shutdown of roughly two-thirds of oil production in the US Gulf of Mexico, as energy companies evacuate offshore platforms and suspend drilling ahead of the storm. The disruption affects a significant share of American crude output, and the storm's path along the eastern seaboard is being closely watched for further damage and flooding.
Why now: The storm is disrupting a major share of US oil production, raising concerns about energy prices and hurricane season impacts.
