If Gulf Coast towns get an insane amount of rain each year (65-75 inches or so) and there is a huge oil slick off of the coast. What's going to be in all that rain? 8O Is it going to be full of oil and petrochemicals? 8O shocked

I have several telescopes, but none are semi-APO, APO, or in anyway valuable.

Not likely. While some of the more volatile substances may become involved in rain, I doubt to any great extent the way the scenario is playin' out now. Believe you me, it's not rain we are worried about. sad
