Storms threaten to push Gulf oil spill towards shore

While crews work to contain the Gulf of Mexico oil spill from the sunken oil rig this weekend, rough seas will threaten the area as a line of strong-to-severe thunderstorms is forecast to move through the region, according to AccuWeather.

The rig burned for nearly two days until it sank Thursday morning. The search continues Friday for the 11 workers who are still missing.

The Coast Guard reported Friday that a rainbow sheen of what appeared to be a crude oil mix on the surface had expanded to 10 miles by 10 miles.
