Grump is Ok, but at least be accurate... the way the ocean currents work, water flows from the Carribean past Yucatan and only then into the loop current of the Gulf of Mexico. As far as I can tell Yucatan has not been impacted at all so far and any future impact will be very limited. They might even benefit economically if people reroute their vacations from Gulf resorts.

Well, you need a lot of faith to believe in the loop current in the midst of the hurricane season. I remember Labor Day weekend 1979 in Brownsville TX (right next to the Mexican border). All the beaches were black with tar. Believe it or not, the pollution came right from Louisiana! One week later, the next hurricane, "Frederick", made the situation even worse cause he made his landfall exactly at Mobile AL, and again the stuff went to the south-west and not to Florida as one might assume...Don't believe in the loop current!

...wonder when ptg will notice that we hijacked his post... lol

Yeah, I almost mentioned Yucatan was probably more in danger of hurricanes than oil. Hurricanes can definitely cause huge problems here, but from an ocean's point of view they are short-lived and when normal currents are restored they will tend to cleanse and repair the damage somewhat.

There may end up being less acute effects than you'd expect for a spill of this size. The fact it's away from shore and so far underwater and the oil disperses as it rises (helped by chemical dispersants) dilutes the effects somewhat. Though I am not close to an expert, that's what I've read and inferred.

If my business was selling tarballs though, then I would worry, as the market is about to be (or is already being) flooded...
