Gustav storms Jamaica and prompts oil price swings
The storm Gustav left Jamaica swamped as 67 people died and oil prices spiked above 120 dollars a barrel before easing near 116. Analysts warned of possible U.S. gas price increases and production disruption in the Gulf, while Haitian officials reported 59 dead, many from collapsed homes or floodwaters affecting the corn peninsula.
