I realize most of us have been following this absolute disaster happening off the Gulf Coast right now, so I'll just start from right now..
-=-=-=-An eddy spinning off of the Loop current captured spilled oil at the end of last week then pulled it into the Loop current.
Warning: large images!
Spoiler: show
So now we have oil in the loop current, which leads to the Florida Keys and then the Gulf Stream, up the eastern coastline. I'm really at a loss for words on this one.
