A lot of the west coast of Florida has currents that would make oil at the surface coming here unlikely. Storms and underwater plumes are what would put us at risk.

Now, the fishing industry well offshore from Tampa might be affected by the ban in federal waters at the moment. But our beaches our fine. Never have smelled oil.
