some unnamed state official has mentioned releasing water from upstream reservoirs into Mobile Bay as a means of flushing the bay to push the oil back out to sea. While this may appear to have some merit the official may not have taken into consideration the effect of natural tide flow. At times the bay will have a tide variance of up to three feet (without wind) which is much more water flow than could be supplied by the rivers and lakes. The flushing action of the rains over the past 24 hours will tell the tale. Martin has some flood gates open now as do the Coosa dams. The Tombigbee will be flooding also so Mobile should get plenty of water. Let's all hope this problem is controlled soon.
