talked to one guy who was on a business trip to the MS/AL area last week saying the beaches he saw and heard of are clean and free of oil.

is that true up and down the coastline??

The temperature changes in the various ocean “layers” has trapped the oil and gas in one zone. Combined with the various circular water currents it is in a HUGE pancake type shape in the water. It lies directly above the now vacant cavern in the rock where it leaked from - which is filling with methane gas. In the near future the methane gas pressure will be so great in the cavern that it will explode. Igniting the oil trapped in the water above it, and spraying it up and out of the water all the way to New Orleans and Miami. Huge firestorms will erupt from all of the burning oil crashing to the ground. The methane gas will rise into the upper atmosphere and will block the sun's rays causing a non-stop winter of several years. The Gulf will be empty in 3 months after it drains into the huge hole left behind.

Either that, or nature, with a bit of our help, is dealing with the spill. (In spills, I read where 50% of the stuff evaporates!) Although the dispersants that they added would have prevented some of this I think as the oil didn't make it to the surface. I sure hope those dispersants don't end up doing more harm than good in the long run.

We have several friends who have been to the gulf coast on vacation and the beaches were clean at Destin, Florida and Gulf Shores, Alabama where they vacationed.

“talked to one guy who was on a business trip to the MS/AL area last week saying the beaches he saw and heard of are clean and free of oil.”

That has been the story for a few weeks. Even the locals are having trouble finding something to complain about. I have found to be rather strange.

But, that’s just me.
