BP / Gulf Oil Spill - MODIS Satellite Image - May 9, 2010
We estimate this well is leaking at a rate of 1.1 million gallons (26,500 barrels) per day. At this rate, the spill has now exceeded 21 million gallons. Most news accounts of this spill are repeating a much lower estimate of 210,000 gallons (5,000 barrels) per day, an unexplained number that NOAA and the Coast Guard were using for a few days until they admitted a week ago that they couldn't accurately estimate the flow rate. We think it's better not to use any number at all than to lock in on an unrealistically low estimate that nobody currently supports. Read why we think that here.

NASHVILL, TN (KTVI-FOX2now.com) - It could take one billion dollars to clean up Nashville after massive floods but some of the items and memories lost are priceless. If we remember anything from 1993 here in St. Louis, its that a flood is the kind of natural disaster that touches every segment of a community it hits. When flooding hit Nashville it hit the music.
