Oil Slick Growing

"BP says oil leak may be bigger than it thought
Company official says Gulf well may be spewing out 5,000 barrels a day"
WOW you know when they start talking barrels and not gallons it's getting bad.
5000 barrels = 275,000 gallons A DAY !
Now there is speculation that if the "Burn Off" doesn't work it could take 60-90 days to cap the leak.
275,000 X 60 = 16,500,000 GALLONS OF OIL in the GULF.
On top of an active Hurricane Season... We could effectively see our Beach's ruined from Texas to Key West.
