Jul 23, 2010 - Pensacola, Florida, United States - As tropical storm Bonnie approaches the gulf, work on cleaning up the oil spill has been put on hold. With tropical storm Bonnie approaching, hundreds of workers and more than a dozen vessels will begin moving from the Deepwater Horizon blowout site Friday, stopping work on the long-awaited final stoppage of the well for more than a week. The decision to begin the evacuation was made late Thursday by retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the national incident commander, after concluding that Tropical Storm Bonnie would likely hit the site with winds above 40 mph on Saturday morning. A tropical storm watch was issued early Friday for the northern Gulf Coast from Destin, Fla., to Morgan City, La., the Associated Press reported.
