What happens if a hurricane hits the oil spill?

Asked by xxii (3329points) May 28th, 2010

The government has sent out a warning of the worst hurricane season since 2005, which is when Hurricane Katrina hit.

Whether this is accurate or fearmongering (let’s not get into that), the Gulf of Mexico is a risky area for hurricanes. And if you look at the map provided on that link, pretty bad hurricanes have hit the same area as the oil spill in the past. What’s going to happen if a hurricane hits the oil spill?
