BP well to stay sealed as storm moves in
Reporting from Kenner, La., and Los Angeles —
Reassured by a week of intense monitoring, federal officials Thursday said they planned to leave the damaged BP well sealed despite evacuating vessels ahead of Tropical Storm Bonnie, which was bearing down on the Gulf of Mexico.
The storm, raking the Bahamas late Thursday, is projected to sweep through the gulf with winds of 40 mph or greater and reach the vicinity of the BP well site early Saturday.
