How deep are these things, and could a storm potentially help resolve some of the problems that these underwater slick can cause.
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.

Thanks. Been out of the loop for a few days, and couldn't remember the depths. And knowing they are that deep, yeah, they would be unaffected unfortunately.
