OOookaaaay...


A few days ago, Hecox stated that there was a frack out, or a blow-OUT of the cavern. Now, he is advising the opposite. He is saying the side of the cavern blew-IN, under pressure.

Which is it? Why does it matter?

It matters, and I will try to explain why.

The initial scenario laid out was this. They stated that the well was bored out too large, and that the side close to the sediment layer was compromised. This, over years, caused the salt to give way, allowing 'compacted earth' to invade. This, in turn, caused the increased pressure which caused the frack-out, which led to the sinkhole.
I had problems with the logistics of this scenario, from the start, which I addressed previously, in one of the sinkhole threads.

Now, he is saying that the cavern 'blew IN, under pressure.' What does that tell us?

It confirms that my line of reasoning, when I stated that 'something' was 'pushing' on the side of the cavern, causing pressure and the resulting collapse.

Now, as I stated in another thread, Hecox is not just a geologist. He is a HYDROgeologist. He has been called in, by the government, to work on water table contamination problems before. Read this, it is really short:

So, now we know that 'pressure' 'caused a blow-in' of the cavern. We also know that Hecox has experience in how water travels and reacts under ground. He has experience in how gas and fuel travel underground. He has experience in cleaning up and protecting the water table...


I am going to think out loud, here.

What if Hecox is not there, just because of the sinkhole. What if he is there because of what CAUSED the sinkhole.

What caused the sinkhole? The pressure from outside the cavern. What caused the pressure? Something that they don't want to talk about. If it was another salt diapir, migrating upward (which is what I had, at first, hypothesized), I honestly think they would tell people. That scenario, at least, would not cause mass panic. That leaves 'something' else to be the cause...

I know everyone is saying that it is the methane 'ocean' migrating. I agree, but I am the type of person who has to figure these types of things out, for myself. I must have proof of this, not only for myself, but others, as well.

People tend to turn away from scary situations, unless they have 'proof' that they are in danger.


Can anyone help me to find some topographical maps (showing lift and subsidence) of Louisiana, preferably one from a few decades ago (circa 1960's to 1970's) and one from maybe one or two years ago?

I think we really ARE looking at the cause being the methane plume, migrating... This isn't just a 'wouldn't that be terrible if it happened' situation, anymore.

I would love to discuss this with anyone else who has found evidence supporting or contrary to, this migrating methane plume hypothesis.

Thanks everyone for staying on top of this!

Much love to all!
