If It Was My Home - Visualizing the BP Oil Spill

When it is centered over Meridian, it stretches from Jackson to Birmingham and almost down to Hattiesburg.  It is now bigger than several European countries and would cover most of VA, all of South Carolina, Most of Maine, and several of the smaller states in the NE at once.  It would cover Ireland, The Netherlands & Belgium at the same time, almost all of Austria, and a number of the Eastern European countries.

And they don't expect to be able to fully stop it until August at the earliest. How big will it be by then? And how far spread? It's supposed to be a very busy hurricane season this year.  That could spread the oil all over the place.

sadness, disaster
