Supercomputer simulations show oil from the BP spill could reach the Carolinas, Georgia and Northern Florida by October, and other states may also be affected. The good news? Europe will probably be spared due to the gradual dilution of the oil.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has updated its map of where the Gulf oil spill may be heading. And it appears the crude has a high chance of reaching South Florida, including the Florida Keys and Miami, according to computer model projections (see map).
In response to public interest on the BP oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has released a new customizable interactive map of the spill's impact on the Gulf.
