They are working on some sort of a dome to be used to try to cap and draw off the oil. Also they say it could be 2 or 3 months before they drill a side bore to stem the flow. If that fails, what then?
I am sure there are projections as to how big this spill will be by then. After a week it is already the size of PR. It looks like at least the coast of Louisiana down to southern Florida will get a dose of this. On top of that you have hurricane season coming up, maybe we will get lucky concerning that.
I have lived on both the Louisiana and Florida pan handle coast lines. Both are beautiful although vastly different from each other. One is low marsh and the other is sugar-white sand beaches. It looks like both are going to suffer greatly.
