Interactive Oil Spill Map

Are you standing on the Rock of Salvation?

From: http://www.zerohedge.com

Even as recently 'demoted' BP CEO Tony Hayward is out and about, enjoying a fine yacht race-filled Saturday (cost of InTrade contract that the CEO leaves by year end, now at 74.9) , the GoM gusher continues spewing up to 120,000 barrels of toxic sludge daily.

Below is an informative interactive map from USA Today, disclosing all you need to know about the spill, and why both Texas and the entire Eastern seaboard are likely next to be picking tarballs out of their coastline. In the meantime, BP execs are glued to the Weather Channel, dreading any formation that could even remotely resemble a hurricane-in-waiting (InTrade odds of first Hurricane strike). Should one approach anywhere near the Horizon, all those investors who will buy the Company's unsecured bonds, or even a secured Term Loan of BP, will be wiped out.

For purists, here is the most recent, ultra high res picture of the spill, via MODIS (h/t Justin). Judging by the subsurface blackness enveloping the GoM, it appears Simmons' estimate of oil coverage is pretty much spot on.

Isaiah 55:6
Make search for the Lord while he is there, make prayer to him while he is near:Isaiah 55:7Let the sinner give up his way, and the evil-doer his purpose: and let him come back to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for there is full forgiveness with him.
John 3:16
For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son so that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life

God bless you!
