Should the atmosphere explode just how far would this be felt and how far would damage reach.Would it affect Florida.. |

(and to what extent will any of this gas collect into huge clouds with the proper air-fuel mixture to make it an explosion hazard?).... |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25023771 How is that problem? Did it turn out to be not explosive after all? why should it be. salt caverns are being used for natural gas storage all over the tri-state area, and have been for the past 75 years. the intelligent question would be "where the hell did all that gas come from?" |

Exactly,this is becoming a huge problem with no real fix! “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken.

my2centsworth User ID: 5382682 Canada 10/07/2012 01:22 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Parish property assessors have been approaching residents in the area and offering steep discounts in property taxes in exchange for a decrease in property value assessment. Some real estate assessors also joined the meeting and offered their services to assess property values. Most viewed these people as predatory and some feel like the parish is trying to hurt them and their chances for a fair return on the value of their property, should some civil lawsuit arise. Quoting: Paa Tal [link to labucketbrigade.wordpress.com] do these tax assessors work for the same county as the local officials that have done virtually nothing to help these people? the same local officials that were a no-show at the community meeting last week? and the same ones who asked the local media to ~not~ report the story? all of these people work for the same county (or parish) and live within the same state? hmmmm.....yeah, I'd be leary too. I wouldn't hire those guys to sit and watch paint dry because I'm fairly certain they'd flub that up too! I'm sure the residents of Bayou Corne want this resolved asap, however I would certainly get an atty's advice before signing anything. Just as you stated above, it sounds predatory. I'm sure they'll consult a lawyer....but it'd be really nice if a a few tax attorneys could step forward and do a little pro-bono work. These families need people they can trust. People that can ask the tough questions. People that know the law and that are not intimidated by those wishing to remain hidden behind closed doors. They need to be represented by people that put THEIR best interests front and center, because it's abundantly clear that the govt isn't. I would be cautious about signing anything as well.. here in Canada, if the Government expropriates or purchases property for any reason, they pay only what the value of your land taxes are based on. So, if they drop the value of your property, yes you do pay less tax, but you also get much less when the government pays for your property. I don't know what the American Government bases their payout values on.. but I would sure be VERY careful about allowing them to devalue your property, thereby giving you a lower tax bill. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18850150 If there is a huge earthquake at the New Madrid rift, it could destroy bridges along the Mississippi River and totally disrupt east/west commercial and military transit. And also the huge network of oil/gas pipelines in the region. And what the earthquake does not physically destroy, it will destroy economically. Such an event would severely restrict US military actions around the world. Many troops now being used on foreign soil would be forced to return home. It would be an opportune time for others to take advantage of a wounded giant. . china will want the pacific rim for its own domain, . . the wild west hasn't even yet begun. |
