Oil Spill

I live inland not too far from Destin, Fl. About two weeks ago the whole area was in a panic about the oil spill and how quick it would be hitting the white sandy beaches of the area. Now it looks like this area might not get any or very little effects of the spill other than the tourist being scared off. A friend of mine reasons the miss like this. The Mississippi river brings tons of mud into the gulf every day, it seems it goes westward and southward toward South America, into the Gulf Stream. The shape of the gulf has a sort of a whirlpool effect on water movement. The oil spill will probably follow the same route, unless a hurricane or something turns the flow this way. I'm not positive this will happen, but right now it makes more sense than a lot of the stuff in the paper each day.

More fluff will be going by day to day rather than reallity. It sells. We will never be able to gauge the overall affect of this malfunction until it's over. The good news is that it is light crude and has a much smaller impact then the heavy crude up in Alaska.
