This might get interesting and not in a good way. Thanks to the fellow at UrbanSurvival.com for the heads up. I was following his link which appears to be making internet rounds: http://fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/environment/pollution/news.php?q=1274767889 of an eyewitness to oil rains and was wondering if this was indeed true why only this report was being circulated but I found another of someone who awoke to oil rain remnants: http://translucentsynthesis.wordpress.com/2010/05/21/bps-gulf-oil-spill-is-the-worst/

Hurricane season begins June 1 and I wonder what this will bring when this disaster gets put on spin cycle in the Gulf? :eek:
 
It's not at all implausible. There have been verified accounts of it raining fish and frogs in places before. This could be the oil after having gotten picked up in the wind. But I wonder if it could be the dispersant, since they're spraying that from the air anyway. I'm not sure if it's the color she described. But I think it does include oil-based ingredients.

Also, this might not get as much play as you expect. The way both of those blogs described it, it sounds like a pretty localized thing, where these individuals noticed it happening to them, but they don't talk as though everyone else in their general area experienced the same thing.
 
I live on the gulf and I'm not sure what it was but two days ago my eyes were burning after being outside for a while. My wife too. Could be totally unrelated though.

A worse case scenario would be a hurricane coming up into the gulf and blowing all of that gulf oil inland coating everything within hundreds of miles in a thin sheen of oil.

Then having a dry season....

Then having a wildfire...

I think it would be quite fitting if it rains oil during the 2010 elections, so that the voters are thoroughly reminded of Obama's accomplishments.

Since both of you experienced the same symptoms, you should contact media or related authority.

Oh boy, I can see it now. All the Republican candidates claiming that the Dems are the party of deregulation, and that they Republicans would do a better job of taking more control over big business so that this kind of thing doesn't happen.

Just what we need, a Republican majority elected on a mandate for them to be bigger regulators than the Dems.

Definately something to ponder. I have also been wondering about if it coats the crops?

As for your symptoms seems highly possible it could be related. I know many different reports of various maladies are being reported. They seem to want to dismiss them, but you have to expect this will have far reaching devastating effects such as is being described or we could all dump oil changes into the trash rather than following safe dumping procedures or huff petroleum products for entertainment...

What was the pollen count that day?
 
It's not only possible, it's almost inevitable that chemicals (other than Dihydrogen Monoxide) will be raining somewhere. The question is where, how concentrated, and to what effect.

The wildfire scenario would actually be less awful than the oil simply sitting and soaking for years and years. Most of this nonsense would burn away, and there'd be the potential for regrowth in a lot of areas.

The pollen has been bad lately, and the heat in general, too (sweat getting in your eyes sucks). I would still seek medical attention and testing, though, because it's odd that multiple people would have the same symptoms begin at the same time like that.

"US govt warns of worst hurricane season since 2005
NOAA sees 8-14 hurricanes, most since record 15 in 2005

* Says increased chance of landfall in "more active" year

* Storm surge from hurricane could bring oil slick inland

* Season will be active, but how active depends on La Nina

* Outlook helps push oil prices higher Thursday "

Will be interesting to see if they are right this year...
