BP Gulf Spill-O-Meter

Nobody really knows just how much oil is being pumped out into the ocean right now from the gulf oil crisis but this little widget is a good indicator as it is calculated by estimates from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, from out side experts, from British Petroleum -- of how fast crude is flowing out of two remaining leaks (a third was plugged Wednesday).

Oil has been flowing out of ruptures in the Deepwater Horizon well on the ocean floor since around 10 a.m. on April 22, two days after the BP-leased rig exploded, leaving 11 workers missing and presumed dead.

According to NOAA an estimated 210,000 gallons (5,000 barrels) a day is coming from the remaining ruptures. At that rate, this leak would surpass the 11 million gallons spilled by the Exxon Valdez in 1989 in mid-June if left unchecked.
