 What will happen to a hurricane that runs through

this oil slick?

• Most hurricanes span an enormous area of the ocean (200-300 miles) — far wider than the current size of the spill.

• If the slick remains small in comparison to a typical hurricane’s general environment and size, the anticipated impact on the hurricane would be minimal.

• The oil is not expected to appreciably affect either the intensity or the track of a fully developed tropical storm or hurricane.

• The oil slick would have little effect on the storm surge or near-shore wave heights.
