Tremors felt 45 miles away from Bayou Corne Sinkhole!

Ok, the new bubble site is in Triche canal off Bayou Corne. If someone can post the YouTube vid, it was posted an hour ago. I'm on my cell phone and cant really post it. Look up Triche Canal Bubbles and it is the first one.

Looks like the bubble sites are starting to extend out

Hopefully my attempt is successful. I'm still trying to figure things out.

Thanks Skip! As everyone can see now, this site is very active.

Okay, I was just on enenews which is a somewhat questionable site but... RainB who has posted many videos was the source of the info.

Bruce Martin, Texas Brine Company, LLC vice president of operation: We’re in the process of building a containment system, a set of berms, that will actually surround the sinkhole and probably will encompass somewhere between 60 and 70 acres when it’s all said and done.

Video: Giant sinkhole’s ‘containment system’ could encompass 70 acres
60-70 acres. Now we know why that new route 70 is so far removed.

Bubbles in Trish canal and oil slicks making its way into Grand Bayou. I have to go locate a map because things are getting further out. Has anyone else heard that the sinkhole is now 9 acres?

Berms? WTF? I had to look that one up on the online dictionary. We call them levees, because any wall of dirt down here is deemed a levee. This is the set of levees TB was ordered to build that they are talking about.

You did a good job. CongaRats to you...


Is it just me, or are the new bubble sites becoming much more active? And if so, does that mean that in spite of the vent wells underground pressure is still building?

If the pressure is still building when will it stop, or will it eventually breach the surface like a wild well blowout?

This whole situation is getting much more interesting, and not in a good way.

I also just noticed this from one of my earlier replies that I missed posting as external text. So here it is now...

Notice the text highlighted in orange. Good grief Charlie Brown, do they think the whole dome is shifting? Now that could be a major disaster on a whole new scale. And if it is shifting, could it be related to the build up of gas pressure underground?

Our objectives are to image the sinkhole. How big is it really than what we measured just on the surface and with sonar? How big is it affecting underneath the ground? What has it interrupted below the ground that we can’t see yet? We want to see the interface of the salt and the sediments, those were those black and white layers, because that tells us where the salt face is. If that salt dome is moving, we have the before picture, and we have the after picture. So we’ll know what’s happening.

Morning Kat, I only got 1/2 way through the link/video that you posted regarding the sifting. I watch then think, then watch some more. This causes great concern because that is a massive area that the dome is underneath. Plus if the dome is shifting then why would other caverns be jeopardized? We have them transferring from one cavern to another but they should be transferring out of the area.

I am no longer convinced that only gas and oil will come out of that growing whole. Just a brain fart here but what if the bp bomb was the start of the release of something that the bible tells us was buried long ago. It fills the gap in the casey theory.

Without going too deeply into it, the bible does say that in the tribulation part of the end times there are some really nasty things that are going to rise up from the depths of the earth. So who is to say its not true that the more we poke holes in the ground the closer we come to releasing them.

Released today @ 11:15....

It has been reported to us, by Dr. Steve Horton, that there has been an above normal recording of seismic activity within the last few days. Should additional details or information regarding this situation become available, they will be posted.

HERE

This has been a rumor going around. The latest burp sent trees 30ft into the air also injuring a few workers. Again, rumor only. We may find out in a few days or so. Considering increase seismic activity, could something like this be plausible?

He!! yeah. Why would it not. Last burp spewed things in the air and look at the methane this is now coming out. We have the mother of all bubbles, actually bubbling all over in a larger area, a dome that is shifting.... to me there are massive gasses that are finally finding an outlet. Thirty feet really isn't that high. What is interesting is that these burps are happening regularly and are becoming stronger. I think it maybe an interesting week in the bayou.

I am not as worried about debris shooting 30 feet into the air as I am about the whole area possibly sinking 30 feet when the whole mess collapses.

You are so right my friend. I have been researching and found some theories. This is a theory on the Bermuda Triangle.

The methane—normally frozen at great pressure as gas hydrates embedded within subterranean rock—can become dislodged and transform into gaseous bubbles expanding geometrically as they explode upwards. When these bubbles reach the surface of the water they soar into the air, still expanding upwards and outwards. Any ships caught within the methane mega-bubble immediately lose all buoyancy and sink to the bottom of the ocean.

HERE Now I am not saying this theory on the B. Triangle is correct but it does make sense. So if some day the Texas Brine guys show up for work and all their dozers have disappeared, we may have a Bermuda Triangle of the Bayou.

That video looks more like a spring than anything. I have seen many springs in my life bubbling out of the ground. Some are right in the creeks and rivers. Some of these springs are caused by water traveling underground in tunnels or cracks from upstream also. I see a few bubbles but not enough to say gas is the culprit. Good video though, I like seeing things that remind me of nature.

I have seen that theory about the Bermuda Triangle before. And it does make sense. I have also seen the extended version of the theory that includes aircraft disappearances over the triangle. If a big enough bubble of pure methane erupts under an airplane it will have two very devastating effects. The first is that the engine will quit for lack of oxygen and the second is that, since methane does not provide the same buoyancy and lift as air, the airplane will drop out of the sky like a rock.

Something like that could ruin a pilot's day big time.

That video was actually posted by skipintro. It was only included in my reply as quoted material.

But you are right, it does look like there is water flowing upwards with the gas. There are a few possible explanations for that, considering the nature of the ground in that area.

1 - It is a natural stream that has just captured some gas on the way up. There is enough trapped methane under the whole area for that to happen.

2 - It is a pure methane gas leak but due to the depth of the leak, the leak coming from a restricted orifice, and a combination of the venturi and Bernoulli effects, a column of water is caught up in the gas flow and appears to be a spring welling up.

3 - It is water being forced by gas pressure to flow from an underground chamber by that gas pressure and some of the gas is coming up with it.

The one I did post recently of the bubble site described by the people who found it as "The Mother of all Bubble Sites" does, however, appear to be all gas. After eating a bean burrito I can relate to that "all gas" part of the statement.

This is alarming - IMHO

Experts are looking into the cause of recent rumbling in the ground near the massive sinkhole in Assumption Parish.

A scientist with the Center for Earthquake Research and Information reported there has been above-normal seismic activity around the site for several days. [...]
Texas Brine’s Feb. 3 Update (h/t The Bugle): “[Cavern] floor had risen 100 feet since last measured on Jan. 18.”

A 100-foot rise over a 15-day period, is equal to nearly 7 feet per day. Previously, the cavern floor had been rising at a rate of less than 1 foot per day (Sources: 1, 2, 3).

Source

Here are the seismograph readings of the recent activity. There are links to more seismographs at the source link under the two I am posting here.

The top link seems to be a bad link. There is a link below the four shown to go to more seismograph readings. It is a link to the University of Memphis graphs. This link has been posted here already but it never hurts to re post it for those who may have missed it or don't want to go on a several page search for it.
