Re: Oil Spill v/s Hurricane
Would a hurricane actually gather all the oil that has spilled in one place? my concern would be that the hurricane would have the opposite effect and facilitate the spread of the oil. The other big concern with any major hurricane would be the damage to the infrastructure of the area where it makes landfall.
If a powerful enough hurricane were to make landfall in the Gulf Coast, it could cost enough damage to seriously hamper clean up efforts if enough roads are blocked by flooding and debris. Hopefully any hurricanes that form in the near future will avoid the area altogether.
