Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill
Any of you live on or near the Gulf Coast, as I do, awaiting the effects of the oil spill off the coast of Louisianna ?
With the economy already low in the area, things are about to worsen. Tourism, commercial and sports fishing surely will suffer even more. It appears as though southwest winds will push the oil into the Florida Panhandle, Alabama and Mississippi sooner than later.
The Alaskan oil spill a few years back was mostly in a remote area. The area along the Gulf of Mexico is densly populated in some areas and the home of some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The lastest I've heard is that the oil still flows from the deepsea well. Quite different from the known amount of the Alaskan tanker a few years back.
Do we have any members along the coast that expect to be affected ?
