"[It's] mother nature doing her job," said Ed Overton, a professor of environmental studies at Louisiana State University.

I was going to say the same thing. During WW2 ships were sunk all up and down the eastern seaboard and all over the Pacific. Oil was washed up on beaches all over the place. My mother said she saw this in eastern Virginia and North Carolina during the early days of WW2. But eventually it just seemed to go away as mother nature took care of the problem. My understanding (and I'm far from an expert) is that oil seeps up all the time naturally from the cracks and crevasses in the earth. This is a natural process and mother nature takes care of the problem. Surfers in Santa Barbara have known this for a very long time.

My gut instinct tells me that this isn't as much of a disaster as the news media has told us. I'm hoping this is the case. But you just know if the environmentalists can detect oil even in parts per billion they will make a big deal of it and you can depend on the MSM showing it over and over and over.
