Map and Estimates of Oil Spilled in the Gulf of Mexico - Interactive Map - NYTimes.com-1.pngToday, of course, marks the start of the 2010 Hurricane Season. The good news: there don’t appear to be any storms yet.

The bad news: the oil from the Deepwater Horizon spill continues to spread without an end in site. Have a look at this interactive map that shows the extent of the oil each day since it started (be sure to hit the “play” button). Oh, and the National Weather Service is predicting an 85% chance of an above normal hurricane season.

Here’s to hoping we’re all awfully lucky.
