It becomes somewhat obsessive, with so many pages opened and closed and gone back to. I spent hours today just looking through the wells near the sinkhole. It's exhausting. Thanks to all the information, goldie! [/quote] Greetings morgan, and thank you :) It was a lot of shifting back and forth trying to keep the information straight (good thing I have color tabs in firefox ;) I'm no geologist, but I know there's a lot more to the earth under our feet than dirt, water, rocks, oil and magma. Just trying to pinpoint what they're not telling us about because I know there's always more than what they want us to know. Also, somewhere in my searching I believe I came across a piece about the wells and who controls what. Not sure if it in my post above, bookmarked or an open page...but if you need something related to what you're on feel free let me know :hf: [/quote]
Original Message
The initially estimated 200 by 200 feet sinkhole that developed late last week, swallowing ancient cypress trees 100 feet tall near Bayou Corne and Grand Bayou communities in south Louisiana, is now reported to be 380 feet deep with a diameter of 372 feet, filled mainly with salt water with traces of diesel fuel, and only 1,500 feet from a cavern filled with butane, according to Tuesday morning news. Analysts' reports further hint that Texas Brine Company's cavern failed, but the butane cavern failing is today's worst-case scenario.
If a nearby butane-filled cavern fails, as it appears the brine cavern did,
"it could cause an explosion felt up to two miles away."
