Responders work to clean the remaining oil - with pompoms, rakes and power washers - 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.
