major news web sites a statement that the oil was "...expected to hit the crowded beaches of Clearwater, Tampa and Sarasota by the end of the month." When I went back it was gone-I assume because of calls from irate Chamber of Commerce folks. I did not imagine this-I live just north of Clearwater near the Gulf. Did anyone else catch this? I think it was sometime between 10 and noon today.
ON EDIT- I stand partially corrected, I did read this today, but not on one of the major news sites, it said "could" rather than expected and Tampa came before, not after Clearwater. I got distracted and then confused.

4. latest I heard (radio today) was |

Pensacola in the next 3 to 5 days.
I had read Monday that the oil was 20 miles off the coast of Tampa as of that day.
Sorry I have no sources for you. Well, the Pensacola thing was heard on 107.7 WTOP in DC if you wanted to hunt for it.

6. So it really is hitting home now. |

I lived in Pinellas County for 9 years. When I think of Fort De Soto Park covered in oil, I want to cry. The great blue herons, the reddish egrets, the oystercatchers and skimmers. Snappers and redfish and manatees. My God. :cry:
