Checking now to see if Ala/Miss. had same problem.

Yep, news stories of same thing, tho not as bad, on Alabama beaches.
and this nugget:
(Garret Graves, who advises Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal on coastal issues,)
"Up to 1 million barrels of oil are estimated to remain in the Gulf of Mexico. That oil remains, Graves said, because BP has failed to clean it all up in the more than two years since the tragedy. “That’s four to five times the oil that was spilled with the Exxon Valdez,” he added."
