The ship ran aground at Coos Bay Oregon on the southern coast. So far it's
looking real good. They set fire to the ship Thursday evening and it's still
burning today (Friday) and will continue to burn for the rest of the night. It
is expected to burn away 90 % of the oil. Last night the the haul split in two
but not in a vital area. So far only a small amount has washed ashore and it's
already being cleaned up. We really lucked out on this one. THIS TIME!!

<< Hi Stephen,
 I just heard of the spill off Oregon. Where is the spill? (off what part of
 Oregon?)Let's hope it doesn't set shore. The oregon coast is the first
 place I ever saw the ocean: a life-changing experience! I would very much
like
 to know what part of the coast is being affected and how badly.
 Let's hope for the best!
 I'm from British Columbia, which has a coast very similar to Oregon,
 and I love it dearly, so I understand what a horrific tradgedy it would be
 to have this happen off our coast.
 Please keep us posted about what happens!
