As oil slick threatens the coast, seafood industry and officials worry | al.com: "BAYOU LA BATRE, Ala. -- Late Tuesday morning, Terry Drawdy, owner of Drawdy Crab Co., received a call from an East Coast seafood dealer.

'You need to get all you can get, because it looks like that oil spill's gonna mess us up,' Drawdy told him.

With the spill looming in the Gulf of Mexico and threatening to turn toward the Alabama coast, the effects could be catastrophic on the state's seafood and tourism industries, men like Drawdy said."
