Experts now say Gulf oil won't reach Outer Banks

RALEIGH
Researchers who initially projected that oil from the Gulf of Mexico disaster could threaten the North Carolina coast now believe that there is little chance that it will.
Despite the months of oil gushing from a blown-out undersea BP well off the coast of Louisiana, there's no sign that any of it has migrated into the Loop Current that could carry the spill around Florida and into the Atlantic.
Experts said yesterday that a random current has helped contain the oil around the site where the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded and sank, triggering the spill.
"Without that, we probably would be in trouble," said Roy He, an associate professor at N.C. State University in Raleigh who is an expert on marine sciences and coastal circulation.
