I have but one word that makes all predictions doubtfull at best. That word is "tornado". truenorthActually i should have said "hurricane" truenorthhttp://www.deepwaterhorizonresponse.com/Truenorth, you had it right the first time.

Hurricanes are somewhat predicable, while tornado's are totally unpredictable.Yes BUT the sheer size of the area covered by a hurricane will cause the contaminants from the oil spill to impact a very greater area compared to  what a localized tornado would do but over a VASTLY greater area. It would undoubtedly, if it is  Gulf based event as so many of them are turn the Gulf waters into a cauldron of water/oil/dispersant soup. Which is one of the points that Commando's article relates. truenorthYou can VIEW the realtime feeds from the ROV's.  The ENTERPRISE ones are active, now.

maybe "Waterspout" would be more precise, on account of this being with regard to something in the sea.

besides- unless somebody throws in a couple million tons of egg yolks (or a less colourful emulsifier) oil will simply not mix with the water- it will always float on top.

The area it covers afterwards would of course be a larger problem.from NOAA:  http://www.deepwaterhorizonresponse.com/posted/2931/NOAA_fact_sheet_on_hurricanes_and_oil_spills.572167.pdf
Computer_Commando, excellent link!
Very informative.
Thanks.   It's all in this website:  http://www.deepwaterhorizonresponse.com/go/site/2931/
It's being updated constantly.  Immense resources have been called upon to deal with this incident.
