The rest of the world looks at the Linda Mar cam at 7:20 this morning and sees looming 10-12 ft rollers pounding with a majestic ferocity. You? You see 4-6 ft. with occasional 8ft and "looking mostly closed out"

"THE SHCHAYYYYYYYYSTER!!!! :) I surfed it this morning and caught a few hold on, this is g ..."

"Respect for natures beauty: "Priceless!""

"Hey Hodad... I'm not *that* excited when it's OH and glassy, but honestly, you can't help ..."

This is more than a little depressing, but helpful to get a grasp on the scope of the disaster. A Google Maps engineer has set up a webpage that helps give a sense of the size of the BP spill by overlaying on some of the world's major cities.
