It really don't matter where the storm hits the winds will push the Oil on to the LA, MS and AL coast and depending on the storms track maybe inland quite a ways.

Any storm that impacts this area is going to just about wipe out the Marsh grass and then the marsh.

Katrina was bad but even a tropical storm in my opinion would be the worse case for the marshes. instead of them being completly submerged by the story surge the wave action along with the oil will kill the marsh.

I guess I am going to finish my packing over the weekend.

Storm Threatens to Disrupt Oil Siphoning

HOUSTON (Reuters) – With a storm threatening to disrupt oil-siphoning efforts at BP Plc's blown-out Gulf of Mexico well, the U.S. Coast Guard on Friday said collection efforts would be suspended five days before the forecast onset of gale-force winds. A tropical disturbance over the western Caribbean could deal a big setback to efforts by BP to contain oil gushing from the well, estimated by the U.S. government at up to 60,000 barrels (2.5 million gallons/9.5 million liters) per day. Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen, the U.S. government's point man on the oil spill, said it would be necessary five days before gale force winds are forecast to arrive to take down operations involving ships and other equipment siphoning some of the oil spewing from BP's ruptured deep-sea well. During this period, the oil could flow unchecked from the ruptured well into the sea for up to 14 days, Allen said.


Not Good. Not Good At All.

I hope people are not afraid to pray for those in the storm's path, and those in its wake?


It can't hurt, after all.

Well Like I have been telling everyone on the coast that I know, start packing.

The sad part is I know that once they leave they may not be able to return for some time.

I am Part of the Huricane Response Team in the county Emergency Operations Center. I can tell you for a fact that the people will not me allowed to return to their homes if they get flooded this time due to the HAZMAT risk.

So if you live anywhere on the Gulf Coast you better start packing everything that cannot be replaced. I learned that lesson from Katrina.

There is a good chance TD1 will upgrade to Tropical Storm intensity.

The forecast shows it unlikely to affect the oil spill region.
www.nhc.noaa.gov...

But there is another Tropical Wave on the way. 'Tis the season.

Yeah I saw the NHC forecast but I also saw the GFS forecast Models and when they are in a general agreement as they curently are it is cause for concern.

I pray they are all wrong and the storm goes in to Belize and dies out over land.

We need more time to prepare.
