Responders on boats use power washers to get oil off
Summary
Responders on boats use power washers to get oil off rocks while containing it with boom and recovering it with pompoms and absorbent boom while working to clean the remaining oil from some of the worst hit parts of Galveston Island on the northeast end near Boddeker Rd. April 3, 2014. Southeast winds pushed oil onto the shorelines facing the Houston Ship Channel as the tides carried oil out into the gulf after a nearly 168,000 gallon spill near Texas City March 22.
