Oil Hits Alabama, Mississippi islands Tuesday

Streaks left by oil that retreated during low tide are visible on a public beach on June 2, 2010, in Dauphin Island, Alabama

After a month of waiting, patches of oil began washing up along the central Gulf Coast on Tuesday, with more floating around in nearby parts of the Gulf of Mexico and Mississippi Sound.


It wasn't one constant sheet, and was thin in places, but it fouled beaches on Dauphin Island and just to the west on Mississippi's Petit Bois Island.
