6. These are the reported sites

What about all the remote sites that they have not reported?

[nashville_brook]

7. yes, exactly. i'm getting worried that there might be a Gulf-side exodus...who wants to live

in a constant barrage of oil and chemicals and dying wildlife?

[anarch]

8. "might be"? I don't see how there can't be

I'd even bet that some areas will probably be subject to mandatory evacuation in the near future, when the fumes and whatever else make them uninhabitable...and if this goes on for another six months? A year? A number of years?
