Hurricane Omar was originally a category three hurricane as it swept through Leeward Islands. Omar had winds up to 115 MPH as it was moving northeast. U.S. Virgin Islands, the islands of Vieques, Culebra, St. Martin, Saba, St. Eustatius, St. Barthelemy, the British Virgin Islands and Anguilla all had a hurricane warning. A hurricane warning is issued when there are winds up to 75 MPH or higher. When Omar started towards St. Croix ovensa, a 500,000-barrel-a-day oil refinery started to shut down equipment. They only kept the equipment to maintain power in there refinery running.Once the hurrican passes they will inspect to see if there is any damage done and than determine when they will open the refinery again. Puerto Rico is expected to get attest 20 inches of rain. These rains could produce floods and mudslides. Hurricane Omar is now down to a category 1 hurricane.
