Globs of oil from massive spill found on beach in south Ala

By OIl spill fouls beaches in Gulf Shores, Fort Morgan

Gulf Shores, AL – - Small gobs of reddish brown oil washed
up in the surf for the first time in Gulf Shores, Ala., on Friday
morning.
The goo was isolated to a few areas, but the faint smell of oil
hung in the breeze at the public beach.
Jennifer Powell, visiting from Russellville, Ky., with her
husband, says she could smell the oil, and the odor was burning her
nose.
The Powells say they planned to return to the beach later this
summer, but now they're not sure they want to come back.
Jennifer Powell says it won't be possible to get into the water,
and she added, ""I don't think I want my kids in that."
Cleanup crews were nowhere to be seen.
