Whats going to happen!!!!

settle down. no model I've seen has oil hitting jersey.

 

simma down...

 

Don't PANIC!!!!!!!!!!!

 

what good does panic and fear do? this was a major f&ck up on all levels (BP and US Govt). still getting all freaked out won't do diddly to stop it.

IF we start seeing oil in the keys I'll start watching more closely, and IF we start seeing it in NC I'll get concerned, then by some wild combination of circumstances it ends up in NJ I'll work clean up if needed.

 

sorry. never thought the sitting around the campfire and sing kumbyyah ever solved anything.

No matter how much you wish things were different, they aren't so deal with it.

 

I'm on board with pumpmaster... getting all worked up and telling everyone the world is going to end does nothing

 

your solutions?? cry and b!tch and moan? It was an ACCIDENT. These things do happen you know. it sucks but the silver lining is that it is probably not going to happen again.

 

but fupa, what do you recommend we do besides wait until it gets here and then clean it up? Go down there and clean it up? Not allowed. Write the congressman? Plenty of people already have. Buy a boat and drag some bed sheets throught the gulf? Not gonna cut it.

Tell us your thoughts...

 

I know I always loved the attitude that since it is not close to home "forgetaboutit". This goes for war an anything else that is not right in "our" backyard.

Maybe when it gets here it will be to late....

Sort of sad but hey, that is how our leaders run the world so why be prepared and take preventative actions in the first place?

 

An accident don't I recall them using a part that did not fit correctly? Or I could be dreaming....

 

join surfrider? what is that going to do?

 

Before your further whine about govt action read this: http://abcnews.go.com/WN/bp-oil-spill-gov-bobby-jindals-wishes-crude/story?id=10946379

govt is actually hindering REAL action by people directly affected!

 

you sound like a NIMBY supporter. i agree that panic and fear dont do us any good, but all of us should still be concerned since the oil is absolutely impacting our shared interest, the ocean.

 

Concern is one thing, fear mongering is another.

Fupa, do a little research on surfrider and see what happens when surfing and the environment conflict (piping plovers in NC). surfrider doesnt always our interest in mind.

To reset tho...

As far as it getting into the loop and hitting NJ. Highly unlikely.

Getting sucked up and then raining back down on us? I think there was a thread a few weeks back that addressed this and the conclusion was that oil would not get sucked p into a storm like acid rain.
