bp oil crisis

I know most people are aware of the oil that has been spewing in our gulf coast.we have had oil slowly seeping onto our beaches.living here in Mississippi and only live about 2-3 miles from the beach i wonder before we start seeing more and more oil.even though they have capped it so far and thus far it has been successful.but now we have to worry about the marshes and the sea turtles and the different birds and fish and wonder when they will start washing on to our shores.already the fishing,shrimping and crabs season is a bust.no seafood the rest of this year,commercial and individual that relies on seafood for food or livelihood is pretty much a bust this year.and no ideal how many years it will take before we can go out to fish for sport or for commercial companies to supply to our local restaurants.
so far 5 states has been affected by this oil.Texas,Louisiana,Mississippi,Alabama and some of the outer islands over by Florida.they want us to spread that are beaches are clear and free of oil and tarballs.its a day by day process,what might be free of today may not tomorrow.our local government and the local personnel has all pitched in to keep this problem from getting on our beaches.we have all pulled together and doing what we can. well the bad news-we are in hurricane season and august is the high point of our season.now if any of us get hit by even a tropical storm how much of that oil will be washed ashore our beaches,roads and houses along the coast.pray we don't have anything close to a Katrina or a camille.even a cat 1 can really push oil in closer to shore and even maybe up some rivers.now no one has address this problem as of yet.it needs to be address and soon rather than later.its like no one has even thought about it or maybe they not worried about since there is no storm forming out there as of this morning.once again all we can do is watch and wait and pray we have not alot of oil washing on our shores.louisiana is suffering the worse thus far.already oil has invaded their marshes and into lake pontchartrain.
