NOAA's Emergency Response website has updated its 72 hour forecast of where the oil spill is headed. The government agency forecasts that the oil will continue to head north-eastward, away from Florida beaches. The 72 hour forecast states that the current and wind are pushing the slick westward "...under these currents and winds the plume from the source will tend westward towards the [Mississippi] Delta".  This is terrible news for the fisherman and residents of Louisianna where it looks like more oil will come onshore.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to them.  The good news for businesses, residents and tourists to North West Florida is that the oil is moving away from us and the beaches will be clear. To date, NO tarballs have washed ashore and there is no odor or oil on the Florida beaches. 

Please consider supporting the local businesses by coming to visit.  You can find great deals in Destin, Ft. Walton, or Panama City. Make your reservation today.
