Oil plumes IN the Gulf.

Well, as expected but a lot worse than anyone had previously thought, there are large plumes of oil within the deep waters of the Gulf.  According to a NYT article, one plume is 10 miles long, 3 miles wide, and 300 feet deep.  That's from Santa Monica to the LA Airport, from the ocean to I-405, a football field high.  That's a lot of oil.
