Sinkhole update................ “Heed evacuation orders”

So what is making the pressure increase? Something is causing the gas pressure to go up.

Is all material stored in the salt dome stored under pressure?

Most of what's stored is butane and propane, stored under pressure as liquids. Billions of cubic feet.

An apparent increase in pressure could be caused by heating the system or decreasing the volume of the storage domes.

Harp?

No. I do have compassion for locals there. But it's not Earth Shattering to the rest of the country, I'm sorry to say. I live near St Louis, MO. Is California going to have that much compassion when the NM kicks off and thousands of us die or are homeless. Nope.

^this^

The answer is yes!

I agree with you completely, although most here won't. They want their doom to be caused by another human pulling the strings and holding lives in their hands. No one ever wants to believe that some (not all) of these actions could be about trying to relieve these issues.

Same with HAARP. Saturday was supposed to be clear and sunny in my area. I planned an all day outing. We had big solar energy incoming and in a blink of an eye the clouds were so thick you couldn't see the sun. HAARP? Probably but I don't think they were trying to hurt me. I think they were trying to protect us from the solar radiation that is somewhat aleviated with clouds/rain.

We had purchased a home 10-ish years ago. House (at that time) was about 25 years old. Wasn't a dump, but it did need some upgrades/repairs done, and we had started doing those based on what we thought were the priorities. Safety first, then the cosmetics.

There was one night, maybe 6 months after we moved in, hubby had gone down to the basement for something, came right back up, and asked me to come check cuz he thought he smelled 'something'

(I've got a nose like a blood-hound....a bit bizarre compared to average noses)

Typical lay-out, basement accessed at the far end of the kitchen

I hadn't even made it half-way across the kitchen which is maybe 30ftX15ft....not even close to the basement stairwell....and I smelled the gas.

I began screaming at the kids to get out of the house...they took the dogs with them. While hubby and I were opening doors and windows while simultaneously calling 911.

Within 2-3 mins, we had 2 firetrucks here, EMS, and moments after THEY arrived, they had dispatched Columbia Gas as well.

There had been a couple of pin-sized holes in the gaslines in our basement, as well as a few more in the underground pipes that connected the gas from the street to the home.

Gas was shut off, crisis averted. Repairs were made over the next couple of days (over 5K) and once the inspectors from the gas company came out and checked that everything was 'good'....gas service was restored

From the time hubby had smelled 'something' to the point of having gas restored to home, was less than 72hrs

The severity of an emergency can often be gauged by the actions of the first-responders.

Gas leaks should NOT be taken lightly.

i agree and wonder the same often
however, the inability of those in the know to be honest and transparent and fill us all in leaves room for cynicism and doubt re: their intentions
it's difficult to trust those who hide the truth

Whew! Glad to know you all got out OK.
You are correct to not take a gas leak lightly! The unnerving part of this, is they don't yet seem to know WHERE the gas is coming from. Or they are not saying. In either case it makes things unpredictable.

Trying to relieve buildup for ‘public safety’

[link to enenews.com]

Obviously, this is a lot more complex than I would have ever thought and even the scientists are finding it very complex,” Assumption Parish President Marty Triche told the crowd Saturday morning at the meeting.

“This is a very serious situation because we don’t call mandatory evacuations very lightly."

Locals agree that the situation is very serious. They are now calling on Governor Bobby Jindal to expand the area included in the Bayou Corne/Grand Bayou evacuation and urging 100 readers to do the same by signing their petition.

I was very connected to the BP rupture working on reach for a live show called Wounded Splendor which did it's premier in DC back in 2011. at the last minute the producer after hearing so much about the trouble in the GOM decided to include it in the show.
I was working on the video and put in charge of research on the whole issue.
everything in the show needed to be vetted fully and background research double check if it were to be added.

now in my research i was in contact with many of the actual scientists working on all the different issues at hand then.

i had many talks on the phone with Matt Simmons and have many e-mails from him.

everything he said to me back then is coming true now. he talked about inter-connected oil rivers and many reserves some located far inland were involved. he also went into how all the methane-hydrate that was dissociating would be traveling through cracks in the earth starting under the GOM and moving far north of the coastline. as the methane is released from the hydrate crystals the gas under pressure would expand 7 to 10 times and this action can happen at super sonic speeds. as this event happens it would create heat only to continue as a chain reaction. everything from the sink hole to the hydrocarbons and methane gas was predicted by Mr. Simmons in the days just before his questionable death...EVERYTHING.

a quote from the last e-mail i received....
"....it is not a matter of if but when."

So here are my 2 questions now....
what is going on under the GOM now...what does the ruptured area by the BP well look like today?

and are these hydrocarbons being found match the hydrocarbons from the BP well?

Sorry Cobb I would be going crazy

If anyone in Baton Rouge is even remotely unaware, much less completely unaware of this, then they don't watch TV, read the papers, or use the internet, OR has their head in the sand. Channels WAFB (Ch 9 ), WBRZ ( Ch 2 ), NBC33 (Ch 33) and WVLA (Ch 8 ) have a spot on it every newscast.

The Advocate has an article every day, practically. As does several other newspapers.

Seriously.....completely unaware because of lack of media coverage?

I have to agree with this because people link it here. I've seen the Advocate articles and even seen a few clips from those news channels. Though the news channel clips were a while ago. People only seem to post the stuff with more impact.

Hmm. Repetitive use of key phrases, then followed by ian ad hominim attack against GLP with no meaningful information to back up argued position. Your post fails in face of the documented facts; yet, you are sure about your argument.

Found this in the current pinned thread. IMO it has to be shared!

It was posted about 5 weeks after the BP disaster, clearly explains everything that's happening and why.

Please, take a few minutes to read this extremely important post. It all makes sense now, and probably will to many who read it... Thread: The Great Abyss: Oil Companies Have Created Hell on Earth Here in the U.S.
