Will the gulf coast oil spill reach destin fl?

It is a simple question for which I do not have a simple answer as of May 4. There are a lot of efforts being made to keep the oil spill away from area beaches through oil booms, but bad weather and winds can make containment difficult. The containment dome is scheduled to be installed very soon. The spill has been moving eastward, towards Florida, but destined to reach Florida? I'm just not sure. See related link of the NOAA website, where they track the spill.


What scenario can be expected if there is a big Gulf hurricane over the spill?

USGC has reported that the cleanup operations, particularly the skimmers and burn operations have benefited greatly from the good weather. The obvious effect is the current efforts at containment and stopping the flow would be halted. The containment would be seriously compromised. Surveillance would be reduced, and it would become more difficult to track the spill.

Why is it important to limit the amount of rainwater allowed to acculmulate inside of secondary containment structures?

Limiting the amount of rainwater in secondary containment structures prevents overflow, which can lead to environmental contamination if hazardous materials stored in the containment spill. Excess rainwater can also compromise the integrity of the containment structure itself, increasing the risk of leaks and failures. Regular maintenance and monitoring of rainwater levels help mitigate these risks.
