Oil Spills and Hurricanes

Jeff Master's is the hurricane guy I trust most.
Here is his post for today. It was sobering to say the least.

There are a lot of folks outside of Louisiana that need to get wise to the possibilities discussed in that post.
I found myself having to make some similar points the other day...
This well-spoken guy, while politically neutral, was unfortunately not seeing the big picture....
Even more unfortunately, sometimes the sheep follow those who don't see the big picture...

Once this thing blew up your ecosystem and economy were destined for a big screwing. To pretend that the coast guard, your idiot AG, Obama, Rand Paul's Dad, drill baby drill Sarah or a million sand bags is gonna make much of a difference is ridiculous....there is no fix for the oil already spilled other than to suffer it. The only hope is that the inept clowns from BP can stop the flow before the entire gulf coast is wasted and the crud is creeping up the East coast, into the Virgin Islands and Mexico."
The explosion is larger than anyone was willing to admit or imagine ane EVERYONE is playing catch up. Forget the political nonsense of Rand Paul or bashing the President or even the "drill baby drill" chants of Sarh Palin...
Where are the best scientists and technical experts and how will they be empowered to stop the geyser before 2011 and protect the Gulf Coast that was doomed the moment the rig exploded?
Random or reckless action is not the answer

Q. How is taking 6 months to build a sand barrier going to help?
A: If you don't see how building a massive barrier will help - you are being very short-sighted.
Let me throw a couple of terms at you which you are going to be hearing a lot more of in 3 months:
STORM SURGE
NORTHEAST QUADRANT
CATAGORY _____ (pick a number from 2 thru 5)
UNINHABITABLE RESIDENTIAL AREA
Hopefully that will provide some perspective. We need to put as many square feet of "barrier island" between Louisiana and that oil slick as we possibly can while we can. What 's inundating the marshes now is just the tip of the iceberg... one that I don't care to see headed inland surfing on 15-20 feet of surge.

I like dr masters too....unfortunately, this aricle didn't answer my biggest question....since hurricanes rely on heavy evaporation of warm gulf water, would an oil slick over most of the gulf weaken or prevent a hurricane from developing?....
