1. Fuck. And I haven't been there yet.
And I have wanted to go, just like New Orleans, and now it will be RUINED

Ruined by us, of course. Ruined by our dependence on oil.

Just like crack has destroyed some parts of LA, our oil addiction will destroy the Gulf.

This is just wrong on so many levels.

3. This is false information
The BP Oil Spill will not reach Key West by June 4th.
Make sure you go to the noaa site for correct information.

4. That projection sure looked like it will hit Key West June 4
And the animation is from NOAA.

How is it false?

5. The animation is accurate
WHAT is being animated is not the oil spill but the "uncertainty boundary".

go to: http://www.fla-keys.com/oilspill/

I am not saying the spill will not reach the keys. This is UNKNOWN as of right now.
Our economy in the keys is largely dependent on tourism. Until (and IF) the spill does reach us, we need those that have already planned to come down, to do so. Not cancel plans due to false information.
