I'm sure there are webcams all over the place. Just google a certain city or beach and you'll be able to find one. I just don't have time at the moment.

Foxnews reporting that they have successfully re-inserted the tool into the main leak in the riser. They haven't given exact numbers on a "percentage" that it is collecting but it seems to be working.
