Dawn of the Apocalypse.

As of right now the states of Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama and Florida are bracing for what is being predicted by the worlds scientist as the worst environmental disaster in the history of The United States of America. Organizations of every state on the Gulf Coast are desperately asking for volunteers from everywhere possible to help fight the inevitable pending destruction the oil spill is bringing. At an estimated 210,000 gallons of oil per day pumping out of the under water well current claims are that it will take several weeks or months to stop the well. At that rate the best case scenario would be two weeks and mean that over 2,940,000 gallons of crude oil will be covering the coastlines and waters of the Gulf of Mexico with most of it predicted to flow onto the U.S. coast. U.S. State and Federal agencies are moving as fast as possible to act and the U.S. Coast Guard, Air Force, Navy, and Army are already on alert or deployment to the area. There is no question that the whole planet is going to feel the consequences of this wound. The truth is that all the efforts that the International community can bring to bear cannot stop the damage ahead because there is no technology available that can remove that much oil from the ocean, coastlines, and wildlife that will be covered long before the spill is even contained. This is worst case scenario. This is going to be a horrible conversation as time goes by and the damage is reported for years to come.
