Oil could hit Florida Panhandle by Wednesday

PENSACOLA BEACH, Fla. — A Florida beach might get hit with oil from the Deepwater Horizon accident for the first time Wednesday as sheen likely caused by the accident was reported less than 10 miles off Pensacola Beach.
A charter boat captain reported the oil Tuesday afternoon and state and local environmental officials confirmed that it was about 9.5 miles offshore. Winds are forecast to blow from the south and west, pushing the outer edges of massive slick from the spill closer to western Panhandle beaches.
Emergency crews began Tuesday scouring the beaches for oil and shoring up miles of boom. Escambia County will use it to block oil from reaching inland waterways, but plans to leave beaches unprotected because they are too difficult to protect and easier to clean up.

If so, then you will see the Fed step it up big time IMO. They have GOT to save Fla's precious beaches.....

Its not the wind, its the currents that are always changing that is the issue...next week it may change for the better for the coast.

panama city end of july i dont care what the beaches look like im still going

I know its just a matter of time until oil washes up on Navarre beach, I just hope it isn't alot considering that BP just said they might have the leak capped by Friday... Why didnt they do that in the first place??? I think the whole gulf coast should get dividend money just like Alaska does to put up with things like this...

I'm in Destin right now. I guess I'm glad we decided to come this week vs in 2 weeks.

Yuck, we will be in Fort Walton in July. According to hubby we still going since condo has offered to refund our money if the beaches are closed during our stay. Plus our condo has two pools and a lazy river to keep kids happy

....guys, sorry to be the party pooper, but it goes way beyond "seeing" oil. It is the smell and you cannot ignore it. It will make you sick to your stomach during your brief stays.

a friend at home says he has been able to smell it for the last few days and thinks it is making him kinda sick. not sure if it is a coincidence or not....time will tell.
