ITS RAINING OIL IN NEW ORLEANS, LA.
It's raining oil in New Orleans, La.. Just a few days ago, it was raining oil in Central Texas. You haven't seen anything yet. The damage that is forthcoming from Tropical storms and Hurricanes is going stagger you. Take a good look at EVERYTHING that was covered with OIL that was falling with the rain in Louisiana. Imagine what it is going to look like after a big storm? And then... out come the Sun... and then a match is lite or lightnings strike? Imagine the smell and having to breathe the fumes. Good grief!!

It is definitely a condensed volatile compound but it is probably not crude.
Crude oil is a composite of many different chemicals, and some would evaporate more readily than others, which I believe is at least one of the basis (basi?) of oil refinement. So what's shown could be the lighter elements that have separated from the crude through evaporation, and then mixing again with air moisture during a rain storm
The video isn't conclusive proof to me as some streets always, of course, have oil on them from cars dripping oil. But if it really does smell like oil everywhere as claimed, then I'd rule out normal oil residue.
There is a lot of doubt that this video is genuine. There's really no reliable corroboration for it.
If it's residue from the street, then indeed, it's not crude. It's refined.
But if, on the outside chance this is oil from the Gulf sucked up from the atmosphere and deposited on the streets of NOLA, then you really can't call it refined, because refined oil is a product engineered to particular specifications.
