Re: HUGE Louisiana sinkhole!!!!
don't forget, folks: the problem in all of Assumption Parish
is that there is a high pressure gas deposit deep down
in the crust strata that is leaking massive amount of
gas upwards to the surface. and, of course some of it
has collected in the sinkhole cavern; but, more importantly,
all of the ground in all of Assumption Parish is rapidly
becoming saturated with this gas, and soon will have nowhere
left to go except into the atmosphere....

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

Re: HUGE Louisiana sinkhole!!!!
yes, the gas is coming up from a deposit deep in the
earth's crust, travels through fissures and cracks in
the rock strata. and certainly there is Nothing that
can be capped because it's everywhere in the ground.

and i suppose that they could drill 50 relief wells
and hope that the damn gas deposit empties in 10 or 20 years.
but, what if this gargantuan gas deposit is deeper than
any technology can drill?

in that case the natural gas would just keep creeping and
creeping, making every area it saturated uninhabitable.
so, how much area will this "thing" saturate?
only all of Assumption Parish? all of Southern Louisiana
(including New Orleans)? just how far will this gas
permeate the ground and make entire areas uninhabitable?
(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?)....

This has gone so far from the original concern, that the sinkhole would reach a butane-filled cavern, that I've lost track.

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!

Look up piezoelectric currents and seismic fluctuations, then add massive amounts of methane to that equation

"expansion of magma and rise in convection in the planet’s mantle."

"The next expansion will unleash the magma from faults, cracks, and plumes already present in the crust. Volcanoes are erupting en masse, and will continue to do so to dissipate the build-up of thermal pressure in an attempt to prevent a catastrophe."

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.

[link to labucketbrigade.wordpress.com]
 Quoting: Paa Tal




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! thumbs

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.
 Quoting: ladyannie2009


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.

The Shaw Group has almost completed installing the first vent well. At 3 pm, they had drilled down to 178' with their goal being 200'.

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.
