This spill could have detrimental effects a long ways from the gulf.

If, as the scientists predict, we have several big hurricanes, they could spread oil damage many miles inland.

Oily rain falling out thousands of acres and cities could create all kinds of havoc. And Mother Nature could decide to send one of those massive dirt storms soon thereafter. [I can almost hear her laughing.]

The fall out from this event is difficult to predict.

I have been trying to do so for our small area here in the Keys and have done a miserable job.

It seems the biggest worry is what will currents,loop,Gulfstream,unpredictable eddies, wind blown events,hurricanes,tides do and how far will they take the spill?

What is so difficult to predict is what is the level of heavy crude that will finally reach each and every area. How many pollutants will each area receive? That question alone would take a bank of computers a long time to figure out.

I know its way over my head.
