I finally got the new blog up and don’t ya know, the oil has stopped leaking, This is TRUE!!

Check out this video I just posted to my new blog: Oil Spill Updates in Destin. For updates you can subscribe either via RSS feeder or email. I’m certainly going to continue to monitor the situation.

The relief wells are supposedly ahead of schedule, so we will see about that. This is at least a small victory, and one we can be happy about!

I’ve added a page to my blog for the BP oil spill updates. The media isn’t helping our area. As of today, June 7, 2010, there is NO oil on our beach. Here’s a photo I took about 7pm on the beach in Santa Rosa Beach.

Santa Rosa Beach - June 7, 2010

Am I concerned about the oil? Am I scared, mad, outraged, emotionally drained…you bet. In the beginning, my husband and I were watching updates every night. Praying and hoping the oil would be stopped. About 2 weeks ago, I couldn’t take it anymore….the anger, frustration and emotions got the best of me. The other day I looked at CNN.com and the picture on the home page was of 2 birds, (who had just been rescued), sitting in a basket struggling to breath because of being totally covered in oil. That same night I turned on Anderson Cooper, (AC360), and the same photo was on the screen. I just started to cry.

I have been and continue to follow the updates. I’ll keep posting beach pictures and videos of our beaches. Destin will recover and this too shall pass.
