A major hurricane striking and then crossing the S Florida pennensula from the Atlantic, almost garuntees a second gulf coast stike or possibly a Mexican strike.It almost also garuntees that large amounts of oil will be pushed ashore on the west coast of Florida,''particularly the SW coast,the northern and central Gulf coast,and in the event of a Mexico strike,the western Gulf coast would be effected by at least some oil coming ashore.A second strike by a major cane along the north central gulf coast,or the NE gulf coast would most ceartainly have the effect of funneling oil into the many bays and inlets along the west coast of Florida,including Tampa Bay.
A major storm approaching SE Florida from the east would very likely cause oil to be pulled from near the spew location into the loop current and then transported southward towards both the Florida Keys,the Everglades and Cuba.Once the storm entered the Gulf on a west or nw track oil would then most likely be circulated back northward ,once again being pushed into the glades and up the Atlantic coast.
Turkey Point nuclear plant is SSE of Miami and would be in the path of oil moving around the tip of Florida and then northward along the coast. Does any one out there know how coastal nuke plants deal with oil slicks ? Can reactors be cooled properly by oil contaminated water ? What sort of hurricane damage might that facility be dealing with even as the oil nears that plant ? This could be a very ''Cruel Summer'' for the entire southeastern US and beyond ! |
