3. That photo is huge so I downloaded it to look at it

Is the land at the bottom Yucatan? Is the dark mass at the top the original oil spill site? If I'm right then this spill has progressed far more than anyone thought, assuming the dark mass is oil.

Can you adjust the photo so it's easier to see without having to scroll sideways and up and down?

Where did you find this photo?

6. From U of Miami and NOAH the WOM red circles in this map show

The WOM label is water/oil/dispersant mix:

7. I see the path of the oil on that graph

Thanks for this OP! I hope it doesn't sink!

4. Here's a photo of South Florida and Cuba with dark smears

If that's oil then it's already on it's way out to the Atlantic. But wouldn't we have heard about this by now?

8. No.

That's the exact purpose of the dispersant.
