BP Oil Spill Close To Florida: Oil Sheen Spotted Nine Miles From Pensacola Beach

Image via Wikipedia

This is truly sad - our hearts go out to the folks all along the beautiful beaches from Gulf Shores to Pensacola and on to Sandestin and Panama City. If oil does indeed come ashore along these pristine white beaches, the photo ops will be horrific. While we in Louisiana are impacted by oil in our marshes, once the public sees those beautiful beaches soiled, unfortunately for Florida but fortunate for us as a whole in a sad way, the reaction and outcry will be 10 times greater than it is now. We will truly have a national emergency and hopefully, we'll find a governmental response equal to it.
