3. I heard some refer to the spill as our...
Chernobyl. This just adds to the validity of that comparison. We now have something comparable to a fall-out cloud eminating from the spill.

I agree with you on the possibility that dispersant being sprayed from the air could be the culprit here, but I think that it's worse than that.

Much of the oil that makes it to the surface, according to a multitude of reports coming from the scene, is evaporating into the atmosphere. Most of the rain that falls along the eastern seaboard originates from water evaporated in the Gulf and and squeezed out by energies from the west and lower temps from the north.

We could be looking at thousands of tons of evaporated chemicals, including dispersant, saturating everything that this toxic rain falls on. From the Mississippi to the East Coast, and as far north as Pennsylvania and New York.

This is a disaster, on top of an apocalypse.
