Watching the news this morning and this is going to get really nasty. Those booms are worthless when the waves are kicking up and with 20 mph winds like they are getting the oil will wash right over them. From the pics I have seen the booms are washing up on the beach so they won't do any good like that. We can point fingers all day but the fact is there is not much anyone can do now but clean it up as it washes ashore.
