How Big Is The BP Oil Spill, Really?

Thanks Melissa for letting me know about this site.

If you are wondering exactly how big this BP oil spill is, then check out http://www.ifitwasmyhome.com. This site allows you to use your current location, or zip code, and Google Maps to visualize how much space the oil spill covers over a particular geographic area. It’s been a big deal in the news, but seeing just how major it is on a map really hits home.
