Isn't it very possible that at some point, these two will connect and then light it like a fuse? [/quote] Never heard of fires under Texas.. do you have more info? [/quote] Curious about that, too. Never heard of it. [/quote] throughout the world there are long term underground coal fires, and occasionally a gas well will catch fire and will be left to burn itself out. but storage caverns either explode or get a high pressure leak with a torch fire. but both of those 2 types of cavern events are rare and resolve themselves within a day or 2.

“Picture if you will a smaller version of the BP oil spill where instead of the oil coming out of the casing on the ocean floor, we have gas escaping from a huge crevice beneath the aquifer which cannot be capped.”
Hydrocarbons could have breached the failing cavern from the bottom of it and hydrocarbons on top of the hole comprise approximately 75% of it, according to officials and investigators at the 29 Sept. 2012 Bayou Corne Resident Briefing in Assumption Parish about the sinkhole that has now expanded to four acres.
Earthquakes ahead of the sinkhole in Assumption Parish are back, the number of bubbling sites has increased to 20 and extended miles from the sinkhole, and the hole has increased to four acres.
