[quote:Anonymous Coward 844118:MV8xOTUwNDA5XzMyNjg3NjM2X0JEREZDODUx] [quote:Anonymous Coward 7314441:MV8xOTUwNDA5XzMyNjg2NjExX0E5MzE1ODE1] This is my biggest concern currently... Back in Jan. of this year, I was heavily researching the 'mystery booms' that had started popping up all over. On one of the USGS forums I was using, a man claimed to know what was causing the booms and then went into great detail on what to look for. His post, and the entire thread have long since been purged. However, what he said stuck with me and from that point on I was waiting for the signs. He claimed that the booms were the result of Super Fracking that had exposed a large underground cavern that sat against an exposed section of a subsection of the Madrid fault. That when this happened they knew they'd messed up big time. From then on the US Gov has been undergoing a 24/7 operation of keeping the cavern pressurized with fluid, to prevent the methane from travelling through the fault and destabalizing it. He claimed that, if methane bubbles started appearing in the gulf, it would be a sign that the US efforts had failed and that the methane was now free flowing. He said if we started to see methane bubbles and sinkholes around the gulf coast, it would signal a window of weeks before a cascade failure occurs. When the methane forces it's way through the fault, the resulting force will rip up the entire fault complex and end up ripping the entire Mississppi River valley a new one. He estimated at least 100 miles on either side of the Mississppi as being underwater. The new continental divide. He claimed all this and I began waiting and watching... [/quote] Oh wow. This all makes so much sense. The methane has to go somewhere. We know that alot of methane is being released into the arctic - because of the ice melting. Extreme heat is upon us, record drought in the U.S. Methane has always been my concern since I started researching climate change years ago. This spot in Louisiana is definitely one to keep an eye on. [/quote]
Original Message
The sinkhole is now over 381 feet deep and every day more methane is bubbling to the surface. This is very bad!
"We just want answers. That's all we want," one Bayou Corne local man told NBC 33 News on Sunday. "We want to know whether we are safe or not right here."
