This Florida Department of Environmental Protection site offers trajectory maps each day showing where the spill is located.

And here's the link for a group collecting hair to make into absorbent booms. They appear to have a strong local connection: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Matter-of-Trust/463115455390

From Ken Steinhoff at Palm Beach Bike Tours:

The thread on this photo...
>http://www.flickr.com/photos/uscgd8/4551846015/
> ...has the best engineering discussion of the problem I have read thus
far. No politics. No finger pointing, just a bunch of (what sound
like) industry experts discussing underwater drilling and oil
recovery. Lots of numbers. Interesting.

Spoiler: at 5,000 feet below sea level, the base pressure is 2,223 psi.

Summary: If you wanted to drink oil through a 5,000 foot straw, you'd
have to slurp at 611 psi, all else being equal.
