All;
Look at link in post 40!!!!
NOAA posts trajectory maps. Even these are somewhat inaccurate and based on assumptions of where the oil is going. For example, the damage to LA is so far limited to a couple of small areas, but may grow over the next 24 to 48 hours.
The point is that shoreline damage is largely being overblown by the media, such as reports of tarballs in the Florida Keys (I can’t remember a time when I haven’t seen tar balls on FL beaches on my annual trips over the last 30 years). And talk about beaches being closed in FL, AL, and MS over the last couple of weeks (which never happened).
The actual spill is serious enough without the trumped up lies being told by the media.
