Hurricane Oil

What are you looking at? Top left is the bird's foot delta of the Mississippi River. The hurricane-esque "cloud" in the center is the oil slick that has developed as a result of the tens of thousands of gallons of Gulf Crude that is erupting daily from the continental shelf into the Gulf's rich waters off the Louisiana coast after last week's catastrophic oil-rig fire and subsequent collapse. It's eerie how much this image of the slick resembles similar satellite images of the last disaster to dominate southeastern Louisiana.
