    So random question about hurricanes, but did Galveston do anything to ensure that it doesnt get flattened like it did during Ike?

    Was just reading that article... could start as early as the first week of June which is unusual. Even though it's the start of the season, you usually don't see many storms. With El Niño gone, looks like it's going to be a very active season.

    Othere than improving evacuation plans or strengthening building codes I'm not sure what else Galveston can do.

    The NHC and NOAA stated very early on in the spill that a tropical storm or hurricane moving through the spill area very possibly would be an excellent thing. It would mix up and spread out the spill allowing it to dissapate much faster, apparently.

    The risk is a storm surge capturing oil and moving it inland.
