No.
There are some pretty dire predictions out there, premised on unlikely events. The inland rivers and canals of the panhandle of Florida flow out to the sea, so the spill would have to go against the general current. I won't say it can't happen, but the chances are very remote. Hurricanes coming from the east would generally pull the spill out into the center of the Gulf, not inland given their counter clockwise rotation.
