2. A tropical wave will be just as bad

Just thinking about it is frightening.

3. We already have a worst case scenario.....

....with the southerly winds blowing so strong, it's blowing the oil right back to the coast in La, Miss, and Ala. Looks like Texas coast may miss out on the eco-disaster, but it will still impact their fishing industry. This will be a big one, and they had damned well better implement the use of acoustic shut-off valves immediately! HAd these been required, like is done in other oceanic drilling sites, this would be a minor inconvenience. Without the ability to shut down the oil at the bottom of the gulf, it could take weeks to get this thing stopped.
