Pensacola Surf Bubbling, Oily Rain Falling in New Orleans
This video is disturbing enough: by about the 21 second mark, you can see the fizzing and bubbling in the Pensacola oil surf.

On Sunday, everyone was waiting for Hurricane Katrina, a Category 5 storm, to directly hit New orleans. At the last minute, the hurricane veered east, degrading to a Category 4, and smashing into the Gulf Coast, just east of downtown New Orleans.
While everybody else was waiting and worrying the President was eating [...]
