Hurricane ?

As we enter the hurricane season, what kind of impact would a hurricane in the gulf have on the oil in the water, as well as, the clean-up?

Could be terrible, could be a positive.
A Tropical storm or small hurricane would probably do good things, diluting the oil and bringing tons of rain on land to wash the oil out to see where the ocean can do it's thing on it.
A big storm with a big surge could push oil up into bodies of water and contaminate them.
Ten Tex thinks it will rain crude oil 25 miles inland. That is also a theory.

Nothing positive would come from a hurricane. It would push the oil that would have stayed along the edges of the marshes several miles inland. Even a small tropical system would put 3-5' of water in the marshes thereby spreading oil to areas that would have other wise been unaffected.

It is pretty obvious what will happen when the lighting strikes from the hurricane...
FIRECANE!
