Oil Spill affects Gulf Coast Beaches

I live in Gulf Breeze Florida and am sad to see that this oil spill in Louisiana is going to be affecting our beautiful coastline, our wildlife and our economy for a long time to come.  As if Florida did not have enough problems. Today at 3 pm a state of emergency was declared for our area.  Local areas are expected to begin seeing the impact of the Deepwater Horizon collapse sometime Monday, May 3, with Escambia County affected first. For more information visit www.santarosa.fl.gov
