Ocean currents likely to carry oil along Atlantic coast
A detailed computer modeling study released today indicates that oil from the massive spill in the Gulf of Mexico might soon extend along thousands of miles of the Atlantic coast and open ocean as early as this summer. The modeling results are captured in a series of dramatic animations produced by the National Center for Atmospheric Research

2. Once it hits Marathon in the Keys it really picks up speed.
In about 2 weeks it's all the way to NC.

3. This is an inert dye simulation
So it is made to look as bad as possible. Remember that much of the oil is evaporated, degraded, etc. It is not inert.
