A newsletter just received reports that Google has set up a site where you can track the progress of the gulf spill.

I've only taken a cursory look at the page about the setup, and it may require an add-on ap to the basic Google Earth, so it may be more than just a "click and look" opportunity; but for those interested the link I found to the Google description is http://google-latlong.blogspot.com/2010/05/mapping-gulf-oil-spill-in-google-earth.html

Especially for those concerned about when/if the spill might reach areas remote from the gulf, getting the setup in place now might be of value a few months from now(?).
