It could be both good and bad.
Volvagia made some good points in his last post:
My question is what it would do to the underwater plumes of oil. How deep are these things, and could a storm potentially help resolve some of the problems that these underwater slick can cause.
Anyone got any theories?

This would only be a concern if the storm comes out and makes landfall around Lafayette coming in from straight out.
Basically only if the right hand side of the storm passes over the accident site.

Around 3-4 thousand feet deep.
And yes. The immediate concern of the underwater slick is the generation of an anoxic region caused by the breakdown of the oil.
Ideally (insofar as the damage of the oil leak), after the leak is stopped we get hit by a series of mild hurricanes that do not have a track with the right hand side of the storm passing over the leak site.
In fact, if the storm hits the Alabama/MS line, it might push a lot of the oil away from our coast while further dispersing it.
