All the news is such BS, if you were down here and knew people right in the middle of what is going on you would realize it.

I saw photos just yesterday of huge swirls of oil in the bay. It is far from gone, and will be lingering on here for years and years to come.

It literally sickens my stomach to read the news. What is going on down here is totally different, but everyone here following the news feels the same way. They're getting ready to move on, and so many lives are ruined.

edit: I don't even want to read the idiot comments in this thread. Nobody cares, except the people who lost their livelihood and those down here.
