This is breaking my heart. I love the Gulf Coast and the thought of the damage that is going to be done is horrible.
The environmental impact is going to be significant, and the impact on other industries in the Gulf will be as well. They've been able to smell the oil in Florida since yesterday and in New Orleans since this morning. If it's going to take months to stop this thing, the effect on the health of residents is going to be another issue.
The last thing that region needs is another punch in the gut.
