Tropical Storm Bill became the first hurricane of the 2009 Atlantic season Monday but remained far from any land, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.Bill's sustained winds reached to nearly 75 miles per hour as it churned through the Atlantic Ocean more than 1,160 miles east of the Lesser Antilles islands of the Caribbean, the hurricane center said.Earlier Monday morning Tropical Storm Claudette moved ashore along the U.S. Gulf coast.RELATED LINKS Current DateTime: 03:11:01 17 Aug 2009 LinksList Documentid: 32444490Tropical Storms Near US Oil Rigs in GulfSchork Outlook: Bearish NatGas, Bullish OilCommodities: The Next Hot Trade?Oil Falls to 2-Week Low Below $66 on Gloomy DataClaudette, which formed early Sunday morning, hit the coast near the eastern end of Santa Rosa Island, just southeast of Fort Walton Beach, Florida, at 1:10 am New York time, the hurricane center said.The six-month Atlantic hurricane season got off to a slow start with no storms in the first 2-1/2 months but exploded this weekend as three tropical storms formed in just over a day.Bill is expected to strengthen, and forecasters now expect it to whip up into a "major" Category 3 hurricane by Wednesday, with winds of more than 110 mph.

Oil companies were monitoring the storm but had not shut down production.Claudette packed sustained winds of 50 miles per hour as it swept over the Florida panhandle and is seen reaching southern Alabama, when it will likely weaken to a tropical depression, the Hurricane Center said.Early Monday, Tropical Storm Ana, which had faded to a tropical depression on Sunday and was expected to weaken further, was moving quickly west-northwest across the northeastern Caribbean sea.Ana is forecast to cross the coast of the Dominican Republic later Monday with maximum sustained winds near 35 mph.

Hal ini terjadi setelah para konsumen merasa kurang percaya diri karena melihat laporan data yang menunjukkan kelemahan ekonomi. Harga minyak mentah jatuh ke level USD3,01 atau setara dengan 4,27 persen ke posisi USD67,51 per barel. Sedangkan minyak jenis London Brent harganya jatuh sebanyak USD1,07 sehingga berada di posisi USD72,41per barel. Dilanjutkannya, penurunan tersebut adalah yang terbesar sejak 29 Juli lalu. Yakni sesudah survei yang dilakukan oleh Universitas Michigan mengenai konsumen, dilaporkan bahwa konsumsi mengalami penurunan terendah di awal Agustus ini sejak Maret lalu. Hal ini terefleksi dari indeks Wall Street yang mengalami pelemahan pada akhir pekan ini. "Turunnya harga minyak mentah tersebut, diikuti dengan imbas stok di pasar dan sesudah survei konsumen dilaporkan. Selain itu, konsumen percaya akan kejatuhan harga minyak pada awal bulan ini," kata Analis MF Global Research Tom Pawlicki di Chicago, seperti dikutip dari Reuters, Sabtu (15/8/2009). Selanjutnya, harga minyak diprediksi akan berlipat ganda pada musim dingin pada Desember menjadi lebih rendah yakni sekira USD33 per barel. Yakni karena kebutuhannya diperkirakan meningkat, sehingga optimisme pasar akan bangkit. _________________________________________________________________ Share your memories online with anyone you want. http://www.microsoft.com/indonesia/windows/windowslive/products/photos-share.aspx?tab=1
