This big oil spill in Mississippi is downstream from New Orleans. OMG so
in a few days (hours?) all that (alredy toxic) flood water will be full of oil? Could this possibly get worse? Is there anything they can do to stop it?

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — State officials said today they have spotted a huge oil spill near two storage tanks at the town of Venice, on the Mississippi River downstream from New Orleans.

A flyover by the Department of Environmental Quality revealed what was described as a major oil spill.

“Two tanks with the capacity of holding 2 million barrels appear to be leaking,” the statement said.

No further details were given

2. Downstream would be toward the Gulf
It would already be past New Orleans if it's downstream.
