according to the noon news its worse than they thought and some houses may not be habitable as a result

barnet hwy was suppossed to re open today but clean up was more than thought and will hopefully open up tomorrow - they actually had to scrape off a large section of the asphalt and repave it to get rid of the oil

anyway if anyone ha smore pics... post em here
