Update: MASS EVACUATION DUE TO GULF OIL SPILL?

(Picture taken by NASA's earthobservatory centre at the 22nd of June 2010)




In the meantime there emerged
more news about a possible mass evacuation of the BP Oil affected states at the Mexican Gulf Coast.
Surprisingly (or not??) much of this articles have already been deleted! So you need to look into the google cache to be able to read them. The sources spreading the news are starting to get more mainstream so it doesn't have the state of gossiping on forums, blogs and conspiracy sites anymore. (Themarketfinancial.com was one of the sources but has already removed the article).
The source of the news is said to be 'government insiders (FEMA)' who say to get ready for the dead zone.


As already was been feared and I stated out here and in other places of this blog: especially the Corexit forms a direct danger to the habitat. It is a heavily poison of which it's molecules can transist into gases and evaporate, form clouds and come onto land together with rain fall.
When fluid, this heavy posion is invisible, making it even more dangerous. You may not notice it is being around, while it is poisoning the ground, the water, ... and everything which is living on it.

"The oil dispersant used by BP, Corexit 9500, is seen by FEMA sources as mixing with evaporated water from the Gulf and absorbed by rain clouds producing toxic precipitation that threatens to continue killing marine and land animals, plant life, and humans within a 200-mile radius of the Deepwater Horizon disaster site ...in the Gulf.
Plans are being put in place for the mandatory evacuation of New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Mandeville, Hammond, Houma, Belle Chase, Chalmette, Slidell, Biloxi, Gulfport, Pensacola, Hattiesburg, Mobile, Bay Minette, Fort Walton Beach, Panama City, Crestview, and Pascagoula."

"The toxic rain from the Gulf is expected to poison fresh water reservoirs and lakes, streams, and rivers, which will also have a disastrous impact on agriculture and livestock, as well as drinking water, in the affected region."

"Adding to the worries of FEMA and the Corps of Engineers is the large amounts of methane that are escaping from the cavernous grotto of oil underneath the Macondo drilling area of Gulf of Mexico."

Reuters, A mainstream newssource confirms the problematic presence of methane gas:

"Texas A&M University oceanography pofessor John Kessler, just back from a 10-day research expedition near the BP Plc oil spill in the gulf, says methane gas levels in some areas are "astonishingly high."

Kessler's crew took measurements of both surface and deep water within a 5-mile (8 kilometer) radius of BP's broken wellhead.

"There is an incredible amount of methane in there," Kessler told reporters in a telephone briefing.

In some areas, the crew of 12 scientists found concentrations that were 100,000 times higher than normal."


The possibly developing of the first storm Alex in the Gulf is not good news either and an extra reason to suspect toxic rains getting into land.

But please don't panic! I'm not having any medical background but I can hardly imagine people drop dead directly after being exposed to this toxic rain and gasses as the articles state.
At the other hand health effects are almost certain after exposure to this highly poisoned mixture (see the clean up workers health risks).
Especially for some at risk groups (I can think of lung patiens, heart patients, kids and elderly) inhaling this stuff may harm them immediately so please, be careful!
I can only advise people living at these places to, if possible and you have family, relatives, friends,... somewhere else in the U.S. to go over there...

Please remember that the people living in unaffected areas and even more then 1000 miles away or on other continents are feeling very much for you and have compassion because no-one would have his landscape seen killed by this and I think anyone can imagine that we all can get the victim of heavily pollution sooner or later...



Because it is very clear that this is only the beginning!! If BP keeps spreading Corexit it will soon be the end ... cause it will then not only stay at the South-East Coast of North-America so we need to ORGANISE BIG PROTESTS WORLDWIDE that must be held at least EVERY DAY (each big city can have it's own protest one day so that it are everyday other people, mostly) IN THE BIG STREETS OF THE STATES, IN FRONT OF THE WHITE HOUSE, IN FRONT OF LOCAL AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OFFICES AND IN FRONT OF BP's OFFICES TO NOTE THEM THAT THE PUBLIC DOES CARE AND WANTS THIS SURREAL MADNESS TO STOP!!!!

    According to geologists, the first signs that the methane may burst its way through the bottom of the ocean would be manifest via fissures or cracks appearing on the ocean floor near the path of least resistance, ie, the damaged well head. Evidence of fissures opening up on the seabed have been captured by the robotic midget submarines working to repair and contain the ruptured well. Smaller, independent plumes have also appeared outside the nearby radius of the bore hole. When reviewing video tapes of the live BP feeds, one can see in the tapes of mid-June that there is oil spewing up from visible fissions. Geologists are pointing to new fissures and cracks that are appearing on the ocean floor.
