Galveston is currently closed because of fog. Looking at the location of the accident in the channel, it shouldn't affect the Port of Galveston. Caribbean Princess is still docked at Bayport (Houston) because of the accident. She was supposed to leave yesterday.

that poor ship. Princess has had nothing but trouble in Houston.

 

I sure hope they get the oil spill contained very quickly. It will be disastrous for wildlife in that area.

Thanks my family was a touch worried since we have no idea of the actual location of things. And it's hard to search the news on this phone.

I'm so sorry...I was wrong.:( I saw the fog on the cameras and jumped to conclusions.:o According to local news, the port is open, but the ships can't get around the oil spill to get to their docks.
