General Florida DiscussionsAnything related to Florida in general. From "natives" talking about things they know about, to visitors asking about details to make their visit more pleasant.
Wow, I figured there was a lot of gas coming out with the oil, but DAMN. That's crazy. I have predicted that most of the gulf will be very very stagnate for years to come, but this is actually taking it to the next level. The Dead Sea may have nothing over the the Gulf after this. But...she will bounce back, just may be quite some time.
You know what's really crazy, is that BP could pay hundreds of millions of dollars per year for probably over a decade to people effected in the Gulf Region and still be making BILLIONS of dollars off this one well. There's just too much money in oil....
Sensationalism aside, this increase in methane infused into the waters of the Gulf of Mexico could be worrisome, if the actual facts indicated have some substance to them...

What scares the hell out of me is I'm sure there is some substance .If some of the predictions and assessments are 20% correct well all be in deep chit.
You know, I've been watching some of the live feeds of this event, and something really puzzles me...
How is it that these live feeds are so CLEAR? I just watched ROV1 pick up something off of the sea floor and it created a substantial cloud from the silt. Do you mean to tell me that this HUGE flow of oil (or whatever it is) is not generating any turbulence around it at all, and the sea floor around it still has a deep layer of silt completely untouched by any turbulence at all? The water is WAY too clear down there. I would think it would be like trying to see through a major dust storm.
Oh yeah, and as for the bright coloration of that oil column being from the lighting, please tell me, what sort of light would you use to shine on a BLACK column of oil to make it appear yellow and orange? What exactly IS that that is coming out of that pipe?
As for the oil being orange and yellow, it could be mud. I will admit that I don't know much about oil drilling, but I've never assumed that the oil pockets in the crust are some perfectly pure collections of oil. I would assume that there's a lot of mud and rocks in there as well.

Yeah.... I guess at this point we have no idea what is coming out of that well along with the oil.
I just wish they would get that sucker capped off and get as much oil cleaned up as possible before the first hurricane of the season comes in and really makes things challenging...
