Aerial Photos Show Oil and Chemical Spills Spawned by Hurricane Ida
-------------------------------------------------------------------

State and federal officials are investigating reports of oil and
chemical spills along the Gulf Coast in the wake of Hurricane Ida. The
investigations come after the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration published aerial photos showing miles of oil slicks along
the Mississippi River and in the Gulf of Mexico, including spills near a
Phillips 66 refinery and an Enterprise Offshore Drilling platform.
