What will happen if a hurricane hits the Gulf of Mexico with the oil in the water?

Hurricane
Does it increase the intensity of the hurricane? I have also heard that if lightening would strike the oil in the water, that it could cause a fire on top of the oil? Any truth to this or is this just a rumor? Just curious. I live on the Gulf and I have heard various rumors of what could happen if we were to have a hurricane.

This article addresses some of your concerns. The Weather Channel also had a good tutorial earlier this month. You might find it on their page.
