Another storm would devastate U.S. energy -analysts

By Erwin Seba
HOUSTON, Sept. 7 (Reuters) - U.S. oil and natural gas supplies would be devastated if another strong storm hits while the Gulf of Mexico is recovering from Hurricane Katrina, energy analysts said on Wednesday.

"We certainly can't stand another storm," said Tom Bentz, vice president and senior energy analyst for BNP Paribas Commodity Futures Inc. "That's why people are watching the storms out there now."

Two hurricanes and a tropical storm were churning in the Atlantic Ocean on Wednesday. None of the current storms are forecast to enter the Gulf.

The 2005 hurricane season, which lasts until Nov. 30, has been one of the most active on record and is just reaching the traditional peak of activity in early September.
