What Happens When The Tropical Storm Bonnie Hits The Oil Spill?

Tropical Depression Three is going to become Tropical Storm Bonnie sometime today. And guess where it's headed.
BP has already halted relief well drilling and evacuated all non-critical vessels from the area -- and may soon evacuate everyone from the area. The well is capped for now and hopefully won't pop open or crack any more leaks during the delay.
Here's a map of where the storm's heading from NOAA (with the oil spill dropped on top):

Please do not let facts get in the way of a good news disaster!
I believe the maths is something like .5 x wavelength is the maximum depth at which water molecules would oscillate. This storm would have to churn up waves with a wavelength of 10,000 feet to even lightly disturb the bottom. THAT WOULD BE NUTS!

After that big oil spill in Mexico a few decades ago, there was a big mess heading towards Texas, until a hurricane blew by and after the churning, it basically disappeared.
I think if it gets broken into small enough droplets, it will get metabolized by bacteria or oxidized very quickly.

Yep...I read that too...so this isn’t going to be a big deal...whatever oil remains will be “washed” away. Love how God made the world so it cleanses mans mistakes in a coroperative way. He knew they’d be coming! Trouble is BO wasn’t co-operating!!!!

Ok, that makes me feel alot better. I suppose I was just remembering how the top hat was being tossed around, but obviously, it was attached to surface ships which were bing tossed.

Even if Katrina II blew right over the top of it there would be no effect whatsoever. Even a few hundred feet below the surface, the water would be perfectly calm no matter how much chaos was breaking out on the surface. This is why submarines are unaffected by storms. That's comforting.
