BP Gulf oil spill far worse than reported officially

Some tar balls were found Saturday on the Bolivar Peninsula, northeast of Galveston. All Gulf states are now suffering from BP oil spill.

Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson has said,"Any Texas shores impacted by the Deepwater spill will be cleaned up quickly and BP will be picking up the tab."

A Coast Guard official said on Monday that it was possible that the oil hitched a ride on a ship and was not carried naturally by currents to the barrier islands of the eastern Texas coast, but there was no way to know for sure.

The distance between the western reach of the tar balls in Texas and the most eastern reports of oil in Florida is about 550 miles. Oil was first spotted on land near the mouth of the Mississippi River on April 29.

The spill is reaching deeper into Louisiana. Strings of oil were seen Monday in the Rigolets, one of two waterways that connect the Gulf with Lake Pontchartrain, the large lake north of New Orleans.

"So far it's scattered stuff showing up, mostly tar balls," said Louisiana Office of Fisheries Assistant Secretary Randy Pausina. "It will pull out with the tide, and then show back up."
