It has been all over the news. Miles upon miles of the Gulf coast has been affected along with millions of people (worldwide if you count all of those people who buy shrimp, oysters, crabs, fish etc). The oil disaster down in the Gulf is far from over. Until BP creates a relief well, oil is going to continue to spew from the leak. It's definitely going to take more than a few ShamWows to clean the oil laden waters, coasts, and wildlife. It's pretty bad. With that being said, I came across the projection above. The computer model you see shows the oil stream zipping up the eastern coast and out to sea. Remember, it's a computer model, so it's an educated guess and just shows a suggested a scenario. Still, it is a little alarming knowing that sooner or later, the North Carolina coast may see oil washing up on it's shore. I know several NC redfishing guides that are especially worried about what's possibly on the horizon.
