We are very happy to report that we have NOT had any sort of oil or any real effects on our beaches, and the oil itself has moved even further away!
Two weeks ago, the predictions indicated that the oil leaking from the Louisiana Deepwater Horizon rig explosion would reach our area. Thankfully, it got about 20 miles from us, and has been moving south and west ever since.
The most recent NOAA forecast, issued Thursday, May 13, indicates the oil will continue to move further from Dauphin Island. Here is a link to the NOAA chart.
