Gulf oil spill: Could 'toxic storm' make beach towns uninhabitable?

Gulf oil spill: Could 'toxic storm' make beach towns uninhabitable?

Orange Beach, Ala.

Ron Greve expects the worst is yet to come in the oil spill drama that is haranguing beach towns all along the US Gulf Coast. So, like a growing number of residents, the Pensacola Beach solar-cell salesman took a hazardous materials class and received a “hazmat card” upon graduation.

The story goes on to say

Those cards, says Mr. Greve, could become critical in coming weeks and months. In the case of a hurricane hitting the 250-mile wide slick and pushing it over sand dunes and into beach towns, residents fear they’ll face not only mass evacuations, but potential permanent relocation.

I place this in the BAN forum, because this is a highly respected MSM news outlet, which goes above and beyond the Lindsey Williams and Alex Jones claims....


Also boats are now moving away from the leak site...

On Friday, the Coast Guard announced it would start moving boats and rigs away from the Deepwater Horizon geyser site 120 hours before a hurricane’s approach, at that point ending all collection efforts and delaying the drilling of relief wells, which are now on track to plug the well by late August – the height of the hurricane season.

I have to stop watching... it's just getting worse...

I sort of disagree that this is news. It's someone's speculation and an informational article, but it's not really breaking news. It can be hard to decide where to place an article like this though.'

Interesting stuff about the hazmat training. It's good to know that people are taking this seriously and preparing.

I remember thinking when it happened that it was worse than stated and the after shock would be bad but this is far from getting bad, its just starting to impact the coastline and I can't help but think that's going to be a complete waste land, ocean area and coastline!!!

Seen this from Time?

Thanks for bringing that link to my attention!

Damn right they are poisoning the gulf an its inhabitants. You guys need to see these video links I got from a friend today, very eye opening to say the least. Looks like someone was paying attention and put it all together.

Why are the boats moving away? There are no tropical systems near the gulf at this time....
