Storm warning on as Beryl moves north (Reuters): "The hurricane center said additional watches or warnings may be issued for part of Long Island and the New England coast later in the day. The storm was expected to turn northeast and gain pace over the next 24 hours, bringing its center near the southeastern coast of Massachusetts Thursday night or Friday morning, the center said. The tropical storm posed no threat to U.S. oil and gas facilities in the Gulf of Mexico." (emphasis added).

Anyone with a basic understanding of U.S. geography should be able to figure out that a storm barreling toward Massachusetts will definitely not pose any threat toward anything remotely close to the Gulf of Mexico.
