Buzz: Scattered Oil Near Alabama Line

We’re hearing reports that oil has dotted the beaches in significant patches from Perdido Key to the Flora-Bama Lounge. From what we’ve been told, you can’t get to the water without getting oil on your feet.

Skimming boats have already been working to remove a sheen that began entering Alabama Pass this morning. Another source says the oil has moved further east this afternoon and come onshore in parts of Pensacola Beach.
