"The biggest one in the Gulf was the Ixtoc I in 1979. This spill ran from June 1979 to March 1980 (9 months) and released 140 million gallons of oil. By comparison, the Exxon Valdez (only!) released 10.8 million gallons."

Wow thanks for the info.. it'll be interesting to see what happens. Seems like the landscape is alot different when it comes to louisiana.. lots of little marsh islands everywhere ... lots of places for oil to stick. Craziness!
