Oil-maggedon

What a change a week can make on the Gulf - bad to worse. I remember the radio descriptions at the onset of the Deepwater Horrizon explosion and subsequent wellhead leak. "Oil-maggedon" was coined from the future end time event Armageddon. Following nine hours on the road yesterday, only to arrive to view an exponential intrusion of crude oil on the beach, my first reaction to the view was I never thought it would happen here. The photo is a 7th floor view from our balcony, one of hundreds of clean-up encampments along the beach from Gulf Shores through the Florida panhandle. To view the expanse of the Gulf and the efforts of hundreds of skimming boats working 24 hours a day, it seems like mopping up a water drop in a bathtub. It looks like a literal city on the water during nighttime. Yet, the wellhead continues to spew more today than in the (2) months past. I attempted to post a video made through the windshield in Bay Minette, Alabama of huge offroad trucks being mobilized to the beach. I think the Federal Government is ramping up for a greater catastrophic influx of crude on the Gulf region. Having seen a CNN report this past week from Tennessee, a local charter fishing captain who took his own life on the bridge of his boat here at Ground Zero leaving a wife and two young sons, I am becoming angry probably to disguise feelings of despair for those whose livelihoods have depended on the Gulf and the bounty she has produced.
