BP = BIG PROBLEM. Oil has now reached Cuba and will begin a journey into the Caribbean and definitely up the eastern seaboard at this rate. The only thing everyone can pray for is for there NOT to be a hurricane any time soon.
Oil reported just offshore Cuba; Forecast “clearly shows the oil moving southeastward”
BY OILFLORIDA, ON JUNE 20TH, 2010
USF model projects oil spill will expand further southward toward loop current, WTSP Channel 10 Tampa Bay, June 18, 2010:
A high pressure system centered over the Gulf of Mexico will bring light northwesterly winds to the oil spill area over the next few days.
As a result, models that attempt to predict the future track of the spill are suggesting that the oil will head back toward the southeast and closer to the loop current.
With mainly light winds in place, the heating of the surface by the sun will play a major role in the wind direction over the spill area. During the early morning hours winds will blow lightly out of the northwest. This pushes the oil away from the coast and toward the southeast out to sea.
As the land heats up during the afternoon hours, a sea breeze develops causing the wind to back to the SSW and blowing the oil back toward the shore. Later in the evening, as the air cools, the winds once again turn to the northwest. The overall affect this will have is to force the oil further toward the southeast and closer to the loop current.
The University of South Florida’s College of Marine Science and the Ocean Circulation Group and jointly produce a computer model that predicts the path of the oil spill. The latest run clearly shows the oil moving southeastward and pushing up against the current. This could lead to more oil entering the current over the next few days. …
The flow out of the loop current is not completely shut off and will likely never do so.
There are now reports of an oil sheen just offshore of Cuba. This implies the oil has reached the southeastern extent of the loop current and could continue east through the Florida straights.

The east coast getbiggers defending BP won't be doing so when it's raining black in their neighborhoods :(

Those who are defending BP should be fearing already. When oil evaporates it does not evaporates all at once. In all honesty it is actually being distilled by the heat of the sun and warm Gulf sea waters, which means separated into its components which become air borne gases that can cause immense health and agricultural problems. I said in another thread how crude separates in to Benzene, Toluene, Kerosene, gasoline, xylene, propene etc etc Any one of these gases is dangerous to ones health and as gases they become air borne and then mix with rain clouds and rain down on the land and crops and causes potential crop failure and destruction of soil for a very long period of time...let's not even get into the health impact as these chemical rain clouds raining down over major cities.
America right now could have a massive loss of agricultural land in its Southeast/Gulf region, as that area is very rich in growing many types of food america enjoys as well as cotton and tobacco. A hurricane or even a tropical storm in the region would be a nail in the coffin for the whole southeast/gulf region as the storm not only would carry the oil further inland, but would act like lawn sprinkler and spray it over the entirety of many states. Can you just see the excuse now for americas government to force people out of the whole region and maybe into FEMA camps
BP will NOT AND CAN NOT pay for the immense damage done to the region and they certainly can not afford to pay for the even more massive damage that will come if a hurricane or tropical storm hits the region. Even now the cost suffered by the states in the Gulf has probably toped a TRILLION dollars when one considers the health issues that are already arising, the lost of businesses that have been there for generations, the fact that the well has not been capped, the clean up (which they will never be able to do) the agricultural lands, the seal life etc etc...
