Michael Shuts Down More Than A Third Of Region's Natgas Output

Reuters reports that U.S. energy firms reduced natural gas output from offshore wells in the Gulf of Mexico by about 35 percent by early Wednesday. This as Hurricane Michael approaches the Florida coast.
Michael is a dangerous Category 4 storm expected to hit the Florida Panhandle later Wednesday. The storm has maximum sustained winds of 145 miles per hour.
A week ago, drillers were pulling about 3.4 billion cubic feet per day of gas out of the offshore Gulf of Mexico.
