(CBS) On top of the record oil spill, the Gulf of Mexico is now bracing for what could be a near record hurricane season.
While hurricanes regularly do terrible damage, this year they will wreck containment booms, force clean-up crews off the water, and delay drilling of the relief wells that are now the only hope to stop the leak. There are even been fears hurricane-driven rains could be black with oil, reports CBS News correspondent John Blackstone.
"The oil does not get into rainfall. It would not rain oil," says UCLA assistant professor of atmospheric sciences Kristen Corbosiero. But a hurricane storm surge could push oil many miles inland.

Bikinis Meet Hazmat Suits as Florida Weighs Closings (Update1)
June 11, 2010, 1:49 PM EDT
By Kim Chipman
June 11 (Bloomberg) -- A sheen of oil off of Pensacola Beach, a week after tar balls from the BP Plc spill began washing ashore, may force Florida to do the unthinkable: Close beaches.
Government officials must balance potential health dangers from oil arriving on the northwest Florida coast against the prospect that banned beaches would drive away visitors and cripple the state’s $60 billion tourism business.
Their decision so far has been to keep the coastline open even as crews paid by BP work to clean up the muck.
“We are swimming in it, we are lying out right next to it,” said Emily Boswell, 27, a veterinary technician from Pensacola, after spending a day at nearby Pensacola Beach. “Why are there people in hazmat suits and we are in our bikinis?”
State and local officials say there have been no beach closings because the sand and sea remain safe.
“There’s no imminent public health issue to warrant a closure at this time,” Nancy Blum, spokeswoman for the Florida Department of Environmental Protection in Tallahassee, said in an interview.
Robert McKee, a Fort Lauderdale, Florida, lawyer representing clients suing BP, said it’s “a significant probability” that the state will have to start closing beaches. He compared the situation to “Jaws,” the 1975 movie based on the book by the same name in which a killer shark terrorizes an island resort town. The fictional town’s mayor hushes up the danger to avoid scaring away tourists.
‘Shark in Waiting’
The oil is like “the shark in waiting,” he said. “If they give the warnings, they destroy their economy, and if they don’t give the warnings, they are complicit with the cause of the harm.”
Pensacola resident Terri Holley, 50, said she’s now staying away from the Gulf waters.
“I wouldn’t swim in it,” Holley, who works in marketing, said yesterday during a rally against BP in downtown Pensacola. “It kills me to see babies and pregnant women in that water.”
Government officials say they are monitoring the arrival of oil that has spewed from the BP well since a drilling rig exploded on April 20. The damaged well is gushing 20,000 to 40,000 barrels of oil a day into the Gulf of Mexico, twice as much as previously estimated, a team of government scientists said yesterday.
Perdido Key
Florida state health officials issued warnings on June 8 that swimmers at Perdido Key, near the Alabama border, enter the water at their own risk because tar balls were too numerous to avoid. County officials said all beaches remained open and that the advisory doesn’t ban swimming.
Pensacola Mayor Mike Wiggins told reporters on June 9 that a flyover he did of the area the previous day showed an oil sheen that could “easily” reach the coast as soon as today.
Larry Johnson, a Pensacola city councilman, said that while beaches “are safe as of now,” he worries about children who might not know to stay away from the balls and clumps of oil.
Closing beaches would be “economically devastating,” said Robert Rinke, president of Levin and Rinke Resort Realty in Pensacola Beach.
“That would be a last resort,” he said in an interview. “Officials would do everything they could to keep the beaches open as long as there wasn’t a public-safety issue.”
Florida environmentalists such as Manley Fuller said closings may be inevitable.
‘Forced To’ Close
“Obviously they don’t want to do that, but they may be forced to,” Fuller, president of the Florida Wildlife Federation, said in an interview
Even with the beaches open, charter fishermen, hotels, restaurants and other businesses that rely on tourists are seeing sales plummet in what is supposed to be their busiest time of the year.
“It’s like the oil is holding everybody hostage,” Johnson, the city councilman, said.
The spill could put 195,000 Floridians out of work and cost the state $10.9 billion should the area that includes Pensacola lose half its tourist traffic, according to estimates by Sean Snaith, an economist at the University of Central Florida in Orlando.
While the tar balls already on the beaches aren’t highly toxic, the oil spreading through the Gulf and chemical dispersants used by BP will affect Florida’s shores for decades, said Richard Snyder, head of environmental diagnostics and bioremediation at the University of West Florida in Pensacola.
‘Into The Future’
“This will cascade into the future and be with us for years,” he said in an interview.
Marty Hurd, a 29-year-old waitress from Prescott, Arkansas, said that’s why she brought her three sons, ages 2 through 8, to Pensacola Beach now.
“We brought our kids down here to see the ocean because they might not get to see it again for a long time,” Hurd said in an interview yesterday. “If the oil comes in here, it’s going to ruin it.”

Gulf oil spill's ripples still a worry
Warranted or not, disaster fears loom
BY JIM WAYMER • FLORIDA TODAY • July 17, 2010
With the undersea gusher believed capped and tests ruling out the BP blowout as the source of local tar on the beach, the Space Coast and the rest of Florida await uncertain ripple effects from the nation's worst-ever oil mess.
Oceanographers want to know the paths of underwater oil plumes. Biologists wonder if nesting sea turtles that accidentally gulped oil will lay viable eggs or whether eggs relocated here from oily beaches can survive once released at Kennedy Space Center.
Consumers wonder if oysters and other seafood might harbor sickening chemicals, and what will become of seafood prices.
And tourism officials worry that perception of some Florida beaches as oiled could tar them all.
"It's a lot of myths that are out there," said Bonnie King, assistant director at the Space Coast Office of Tourism. "A blight on Florida is a blight on us, as well."
A University of Central Florida economist estimated the blowout could cost the state as much as 195,000 jobs and $10.9 billion in lost economic activity in a worst-case analysis of the hit on tourism.
But local tourism officials have speculated that Brevard and other Atlantic Coast hotels might gain business from people canceling trips to the Gulf Coast. They have no numbers yet to back that up, and it's a hard thing to measure, King said.
"Thank heaven it never got into the Gulf Stream," she said.
The oil's path is a hard thing to measure, too, oceanographers say.
Some had predicted the oil could reach Brevard in just weeks if the Gulf of Mexico Loop Current migrated over the oil mass. That never happened.
Instead, a large eddy called "Franklin" pinched off the loop, cutting off the oil's main pathway toward the Keys, around Florida and to the Space Coast, via the Gulf Stream.
Research vessels have yet to find any significant oil just west of the Keys.
But scientists say tar could lurk along the ocean floor with unknown long-term ecological consequences and lap up on Space Coast beaches for years, as it's done in the past.
"Tar can float around in the Sargasso Sea for years and years," said John Windsor, a professor of environmental sciences at Florida Tech. "It took millions of years to form this stuff, it doesn't break down very easily."
He said he doubts whether it will cause significant environmental impacts here, though. He worries more about the oil that goes up and down with the tides in the coastal grass marshes, potentially destroying plants that root a habitat that serves as a nursery for fish and other marine life.
"If that's lost, then you have no place to start the population over again," Windsor said. "If the habitat gets destroyed that they live in, then that's a serious problem."
Local seafood vendors already have seen prices go up for Gulf white and pink shrimp and oysters.
Seafood prices can increase because of far-off disasters. Salmon went up, for example, 20 percent to 40 percent after a micro-organism infection and the Icelandic volcano that interrupted deliveries.
For oysters, restoration techniques developed here may help blunt some of the damage to the industry.
Linda Walters, a University of Central Florida biology professor, has led restoration efforts in Mosquito Lagoon since 2005. Working with The Nature Conservancy, a nonprofit group, she's restored 41 oyster reefs, roughly 10 acres of shellfish.
And she's been working recently with state biologists and the U.S. National Park Service to offer her findings to restoration efforts and marine ecosystem research related to the oil spill. She's on a statewide university task force dedicated to responding to the disaster.
"If we didn't have the oyster reefs, the fish numbers would go way down, and we would lose all the blue crabs and the shrimp," Walters said in a prepared statement. "Without the oysters, this lagoon would just be a sandy bottom with a few worms."
A NOAA ship departed July 1 to study the effects on whales and dolphins in the Gulf of Mexico. Twenty-one species of marine mammals live in deep waters of the northern Gulf of Mexico, including the endangered sperm whale.
No one knows what the long-term impacts to them or to manatees will be.
Tsung-chow Su, a professor in Florida Atlantic University's department of ocean and mechanical engineering, said the biggest lesson learned from the blowout may be to have a contingency plan.
The technology is there, he said, to drill in deep water and to contain blowouts. Existing systems that can better siphon off the oil near its source and put it into temporary storage should be in place, he said.
"I think the lesson is we need to plan ahead," Su said. "There are many techniques available. We just have to prepare for it ahead of time."
OSHA Accepted Hazwoper training in big demand after BP Oil Spill
They say, “prevention is better than cure”. But when preventing the problem is too late you need to think of a way to cure it fast. The same applies with the BP Oil Leak. Now to control the disaster,
The BP oil spill has put the Gulf States of America in a dangerous situation. The need of man power required now and in coming years to tackle the problem is unmatched as compared to the previous oil spills.
The danger and threats that the BP Oil Spill has put in the environment and economy are getting worse as the time goes. Although the size and amount of oil spilled may be a lesser degree as compared to the oil leaked by the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill in Alaska into Prince William Sound but the environmental destructiveness that the BP Oil Spill is giving is exponentially increasing and challenging the record environmental calamity and natural disaster. The destruction and threat on the habitat for both humans and animals are quite overwhelming and this has never happened in North America. Viewing the existing projection of the oil spill, the situation can get worse all up and down Louisiana, Alabama, Florida and Mississippi coasts as the oil slick smashing into the shoreline that would also cause millions of dollars worth of damage.
Now a drastic change in the scenario is that the the BP oil leak has developed a rush to get the OSHA approved HAZWOPER safety training for clean up opportunities. The need of OSHA certified and qualified spill cleanup personnel and other support staff is definitely there. Thousands are being employed and it seems a great chance for the overall number of unemployment of the Gulf Coast States.
This rush has been seen by HAZWOPER Safety Training, an online site providing HAZWOPER safety training approved by OSHA. Now, the HAZWOPER safety training has been the most sought after safety training course now.
