Governor Jindal declares State of Emergency: Oil could “enter coastal homes”, evacuation orders expected today

Jindal declares emergency preparing for storm, Shreveport Times, July 23, 2010:

Gov. Bobby Jindal on Thursday declared a state of emergency… [The storm] was spending a lot of time over water, instead of land which would break it up. “It’s wise to prepare for a Category 1 hurricane, just in case,” the governor said…

The biggest worry, state officials said, is that winds and high tides would drive the Deepwater Horizon oil far up into Louisiana’s marshes, which serve as nurseries for much of the nation’s seafood. If that happens, it could also enter coastal homes and camps. “There’s a potential for winds and waves to drive oil inland,” Jindal said. … He said BP wil be held accountable for any damages caused by oil intrusion.

Agriculture Secretary Mike Strain instructed cattlemen along the coast to secure their livestock to prevent any exposure to oil…

Parishes with low-lying areas that usually flood during storms are expected to issue evacuation orders today as the disturbance moves closer to the state.

Comment by Billy1st III% on July 23, 2010 at 7:48pm: Bp is not going to do squat, dumbama saw to that when he put a limit on the fund for BP! And they will use that to cover their own expenses! I feel sorry for everybody down south! They are just sheep to dumbama and BP! Sheeple have to wake up and see the darkness that is coming our way! With Cap and trade,vat, disclose act, they are really dumbed down with the kool aid they are drinking! this oil spill and all that is mentioned is just part of the plan, don't let a good disaster go to waste, and if you think he cares about this Country, you have been drinking too much kool aid!

Comment by James Colin Gawthrop on July 23, 2010 at 7:36pm: Well in advance of any danger from the storm, a few days ago, BP pulled the underwater cameras. You don't really think they will ever turn them back on again, do you? It's all about "out of sight, out of mind." It's about keeping the "spill" off TV.

This video has no news, only speculation that while all the ships, that is, the witnesses are taken away from the Gulf because of the storm, it provides an opportunity to "try" something controversial, like putting a micro nuke down the well. Who knows? But there is a serious disaster and a news blackout. and in the continuing ethos of secrecy, this is a good time to try to cover tracks.

Comment by James Colin Gawthrop on July 23, 2010 at 7:11pm: It is plausible that the governor would order coastal evacuations in the event of a hurricane appeoaching when the water is full of oil and Corexit. What is not plausible is the statement, "BP will be held accountable." That made me laugh out loud.

Comment by Percy on July 23, 2010 at 5:23pm: This entire episode is to grab the guns. Nothing worked so they used CIA evergreen airways that normally does the drug running, to dump corexit over land at night to try to get them sick and willing to leave and the contractors like blackwater have already been hired to come in and grab the guns while they are gone.

Comment by TastyKake on July 23, 2010 at 5:11pm: I'm not surprised, the gov't. wanted those people out ages ago, andnow to forced into fema camps,formaldihyde or not..this will be a crime against mankind as well.

Comment by Percy on July 23, 2010 at 3:35pm: Does anyone know where Chuck Wilson is??? Is he ok???

Comment by Percy on July 23, 2010 at 3:33pm: What does one expect from a New World Order Governor. He did not stand up to BP when he should have which meant, like Obama, he was in on it, so who knows what the truth is anymore. DO NOT EVACUATE and those who are forced and do not want to go call out and tell us so we know what is happening and can maybe come and aid you in this time of need. Let us know here or elsewhere but let us know. My email is Vatic2010@gmail.com YOU ARE NOT ALONE...... THIS IS NOT A DICTATORSHIP YET. I believe the entire gulf issue is bogus. That is why the criminality if you take pictures or come down and see for yourself. Why? They admit they have a problem so why block others to come and see??? The oil companies have always wanted control of those marshlands and that is what cleans the water and filters it frm the rivers, and once those go, we will be in freshwater hell.

Comment by Aldona on July 23, 2010 at 3:31pm: Well we all saw it coming, was just a matter of time. Obama had signed something not too long ago that will go well with this State of Emergency...
