The bottom right quadrant is the bad part. They’ll be fine.

No, I think it’s the upper right (eastern) quadrant that’s the bad part.

They’re expecting a 2-3 foot surge with 8-10 foot waves in the gulf coast, last I heard. Enough to push oil into the bayous. The good news is that some of the oil will break up in the rough water, but that’ll only offer temporary respite.

Yep. Well, there’s no helping it. but since there will be no direct hit, BP’s ships can continue to capture the oil, won’t have to move out of the way. If a storm comes this way - that capturing operation has to shut down.
