Oil Spill in Gulf + Hurricane = Ecological Disaster

depends which path the hurricane took, taking the wrong path sure it could be pretty bad

but if it turned at the last second towards southern texas and brought the oil further out to sea/along the coast to that wasteland.......why would that be bad, get this stuff on land and its a bit easier to deal with

but most major hurricanes dont come until atleast september/october, the cleanup will still be going on im sure......within a week or two BP should have blocks/dome around the well to transport the oil to awaiting tankers.......but it will be a bit better contained possibly the well even capped by the time any hurricanes threaten

all that oil on the surface of the water helping to keep the water warmer than usual may pose more of a problem..

oil mixing with salt water and omega 3 from all those dead fish

kind of like a toxic soup with some vitamins in it

Once the end of May arrives, sea temps permitting in the Gulf, there could already be tropical storm developing in the Carribean.

June & July historical have almost always had at least one land-falling hurricane on the Gulf states, but that could be anywhere from Tampa to Corpus Christi.

It's all going to be a waiting game from here.

Sea surface temps are already high across some areas of the Caribbean.
