Oil Leak Could Reach Loop Current Soon and Threaten Florida Keys and East Coast.

Update 8 PM EST - May 3, 2010 - Oil Leak Could Reach Loop Current Soon and Threaten Florida Keys and East Coast.
"Sooner or later, it's going to hit our coast, and it may not just
be the Panhandle, it could be a lot more of our coast, although I pray 
that doesn't happen. It's an enormous mess, it's unbelievable the 
magnitude of this thing."
 - Florida Gov. Charlie Crist

and north up the East Coast. Graphic © 2010 by LA Times.

Nick Shay, Ph.D., a physical oceanographer at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, said today that once the BP oil spill enters the Loop Current, it likely will end up in the Florida Keys and continue east around the tip of Florida and into the Gulf stream north in the Atlantic Ocean. Florida's Governor Charlie Crist has extended emergency orders to thirteen more coastal counties.
