Please don't flame me here for what seems to be shallow in light of the current hurricane horror. I've scrounging for what I can do to help. But, thinking beyond that whole mess, I was wondering if anything happened in Panama City Beach - concerning IMFL.
Another part of my inquiry is: I figure when the real cleanup starts in New Orleans, they're gonna barge all that sludge out to the gulf. I don't know all the dynamics, but volatile compounds will evaporate, heavier stuff will sink and organic compounds will be eaten up by algae and bacteria. But maybe not since the gulf coast is a well known dead zone due to no oxygen in the water. So is all this (literal) crap going to float around forever? Does anyone think the gulf coast from Texas through the panhandle will be inhospitable to humans attempting a 2.4 mile swim in November?
