I live in Gulf Gate, 200 yds. from 41--no smell here other than the Chinese joints nearby.

Having worked on the Exxon Valdez, I can only say good luck Florida ... I think the long term impacts from this spill will be incalculable...water, air, sealife, plant life, and quality of life.

There's been a controlled burn off of Tampa Bay by the Coast Guard and residents have been complaining of nausea and headaches. Depending on the wind, maybe that's what you're smelling.
