I was watching Kpete's posted video about the "Oil Rains", and I came across this disturbing news report. I have not heard about this, but this poses an ominous question.

How far inland will this plague spread? What happens if a hurricane, or even a weak tropical depression rides up from the Gulf along the Appalachian Mountains? We could be looking at a wholesale destruction of not just 1/5th to 1/4th of this year's crops, but the spoilage of the very soil that supports those crops year after year.

This is not a disease, because it is affecting organic and chem-raised crops, weeds, trees, and even birds. This is not the breakwaters. This is inland.

First it was just the fishing industry. Now we have to worry about our South-Eastern farms.

Talk about a self-fulfilling prophecy...
