I was working offshore During the period of Horizon.
Actually on days off when it happened. Our relief saw the fireball. Our rig was about 30 or so miles from it.
We never saw the huge oil slicks on the news. Maybe we were in the wrong current for it to come our way.
Back then i heard from locals i worked with that there was a lot of scamming going on in the relief efforts. folks claiming there entire lively hood was ruined, when they were only a weekend / hobby schrimper at best.
