Luckily it just barely misses Lake Superior. It would be bad if it got into Lake Superior.

I am selfishly glad that the spill is too far and in the wrong direction to affect Costa Rica. But if centered on Dayton, it reaches from Cleveland to Indianapolis to Cincinnati.

What I want to do is flip the image on its east-west axis, and lay that over Lake Superior. From what I could tell laying it down using upper peninsula MI locations, I suspect it's very close to the same size.
