As crews were working to clean up oil from a 170,000 gallon spill in Galveston Bay, a storage tank nearby began overflowing, spilling 160 gallons of light crude into the water. The Houston Chronicle says oil spills happen about 285 times a year in Galveston Bay. While most are less than a gallon, the spills happen frequently enough to cause concern for the health of the bay.
