NEW ORLEANS - AUGUST 17: Gary Lopinto, a commercial seafood inspector for the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals, sniffs a filet of drum fish for oil contamination at Inland Seafood August 17, 2010 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Seafood captured in Louisiana waters is randomly checked, both by sense of smell and chemical testing, on a regular basis following the massive oil spill into the Gulf of Mexico caused by the Deepwater Horizon accident.

Truly the Greatest Tragedy to Hit the Region

The last several years have been utterly tragic in the gulf region. There have been 3 large hurricanes that destroyed homes and lives from the Florida Pan Handle all the way to Texas. Just when the region seemed to be on the way to recovery, this tragedy adds years more misery to the region. We can only hope that the region has one more recovery left in them.
