I just saw that on the NHC page. If it does develop and head toward the gulf it will intensify like crazy since the gulf is now being superheated from all the oil and abundant sunshine.
I thought that president Obama was shutting down most of the deep well oil rigs to review the permits for safety reasons. If thats true then I would expect a gas shortage and gas prices would go ballistic. So--- whats going on ? Stable gas prices and hardly any real concern in the news. No shortages? WTF Are the news media being stifled to avoid panic? Are gas prices being kept stable to avoid attention,or is this just being blown out of proportion?

I would get a big dome, then drill screw holes into the ocean floor as deep as they need to be to anchor the dome...

Hadn't thought that the slick would have that level of effect on hurricane development, but that is an interesting line of thought.
I just checked the sight again and the chance is now 60% for that small area to develop. I'm not trying to sound alarmist, just pointing it out and wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this.
Actually I wonder if this has already been discussed or if I could open a new thread and see if we can get a good discussion going on how this slick would affect hurricane development and how it then would affect everything else. U2U me if that is feasible (I don't make new threads often so I wouldn't know where to put it) and I will look to see if there is a better place to discuss this like an existing thread.

If the migration zone they tapped into is 22,000 feet below the ocean floor, there will not be a sinkhole, due to the depth of the oil reserve. If the BOP topples over the deposit of oil will come out unimpeded. Can they track the direction from which the oil is coming from and go to that area and begin drilling wells to produce the oil during its migration the the DeepWater Horizon well site?
