1. It makes me think of some sort of metaphysical representation of death
floating over the area

2. In more ways than one it is death to fishermen down here.
Yeah, it looks just as bad in that animation as in the real pictures.

3. Good news for us east of Miss, the wind has shifted.
That will help contain the spill, as seen on the animation.

Bad news: wind will swing around from the south by Thursday, pushing the slick
back towards the east.
