what's the effect of oil spill vs hurricane ?

jfi -

I'm intrigued by the interaction between the huge and continuing oil spillage in the Gulf waters and the approaching hurricane season for that area and the effect it might have on the south-eastern states of the USA.

Will the increasing oil pollution of the water have a 'calming effect' upon the ocean subjected to each hurricane's force ?

Is that good?

Will the oil-polluted ocean water end up as oil-polluted drenching rain over southern states of the US?

Will the oil-polluted flooding that ensues damage the agricultural land's productivity?

Will this oil-laden rainfall induce smoother, suppler skin in the inhabitants of those oil-polluted, less productive lands?

Is life just a sequence of constant questions?


I've no idea at all.
