I am happy to post the GREAT news! As of 2:25pm today, BP says the oil leak has been COMPLETELY CONTAINED. Although the newly installed cap is a temporary measure until the relief wells can be completed in early August, the cap is thus far working! The company is now conducting a "well integrity test" to see if the well can remain closed until next month when it can be permanently closed with cement. We are hopeful!
This news comes at a great time...riding the tails of an unprecedented Jimmy Buffett concert and busy July 4th holiday. Here along the coast, beachgoers continue to enjoy warm weather and gulf coast hospitality in spite of the bleak, national media coverage showing oil-covered beaches. Here is a photo taken during 4th of July in front of Palacio Condominiums on Perdido Key. Spread the good news!
