Yeah, but the point is if it comes in from the east, with a hurricane's anticlockwise winds, the oil will get mixed more southerly before returning north, in which cas the oil will be well-dispersed in the sea (measured in parts per million, rather than globs).
Hey, I've no idea, but what I read sounded logical and had the backing of science buffs...
However, if the first one comes in from the west, all bets are off cos all that shit lurking just offshore is gonna hit the coast with a big storm surge and not have time to disperse.
