Evacs in the GOM

My husband is a "company man" on a rig in the GOM and he just called and said he got the word to evacuate his rig.

Has anyone heard if Northrup Grumman (Ingall's) is tying down or if the Navy is sending the boats out? This is usually, the first sign of problems.

I think they are worried about the seas which are already pretty rough out there....
