Florida declares state of emergency for Panhandle
Apr 30 12:21 PM US/Eastern


TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Florida Gov. Charlie Crist has declared a state of
emergency in several Panhandle coastal counties because of the oil spill in
the Gulf of Mexico.
Friday's executive order covers Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Walton, Bay
and Gulf Counties.

The order says "The resulting oil slick is generally moving in a northerly
direction and threatens Florida's coast."

It expires in 60 days unless extended.

The spill imperils hundreds of species of fish, birds and other wildlife
along the Gulf Coast, one of the world's richest seafood grounds, teeming
with shrimp, oysters and other marine life.
