I have a feeling the rain is due to that dispersant, which breaks up molecules and probably makes it easier for petroleum to evaporate into the air...and thus, fall in rain. Wonderful. As for the other stuff...well, I'm not geologist, but I heard about the earthquake today. In a way, I'm surprised I didn't feel it. But that sounds serious, to say the least, and it's something I should look into more as it's gotten me at least curious so I have a better understanding of what may be going on.
But I HAVE known is that the oil is pretty much squirting out, not just leaking. I've watched the video enough at the New York Times site, where you can see multiple angles, to know it's under ENORMOUS pressure. That's why the top kill didn't work; the pressure of the oil was stronger than the pressure of the dirt and other stuff they tried plugging the pipe with.
