Re: SInkhold Prep by Government!
why would "they" advertise if it was all so top secret?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25371564


A row of black plastic wrapped pallets with "NO" signs on regular paper is hardly advertising. That store is probably an aggregation point in the Home Depot system (pulling stock from other stores for consolidation and onward shipping).

Would have been awesome if the guy had asked a manager WTF, or busted a pallet open to 'buy' one (and see who came to 'help').
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25232132


i beg to differ. marking them new orleans louisianna IS
advertising of a sort. black plastic wrapped would have
been enough.

You obviously haven't worked with enough stupid people. They need shit like this to function at all. You aren't talking about delta here, ya got like 17 year old mothers of 4 working there. They don't ask questions, as long as there's a small paper sign on something.

This was passed. So depending on how many were needed (and in a city the size of New Orleans, they probably have quite a few nursing homes, etc.)

You can be sure that if the Gov. was prepping for this then tractor trailer loads would be staged. They would not off load a few genertors. Do you know that a 53' trailer holds a lot more than what was on that floor.

Would have been nice if he had asked the manager what they were for.

Did anyone think to just call the store and ask?

Seems like that would be the smart thing to do.

Take the map to Assumption Parish, then enter 1.4 Megaton bomb and that will give you an idea of the blast radius. Of course, this is going to occur underground and their will be some sort of subsequent geological collapse.

Consider that the most devastating part of the blast radius of a 1.4 Megaton bomb is 5 miles across. Now, figure that this would be in the neighbor hood of two to three megatons!

Yeah, we're all expecting a collective gasp in a few days or weeks that may cause more trouble than the sinkhole, due to oxygen deprivation.

Re: SInkhold Prep by Government!
This Salt Dome obviously collapsed.

In Tx, there are no well spacing requirements if companies are drilling into an established oil/gas producing Salt Dome.

Translation: Companies can drill as many wells into a producing Salt Dome as they want without having to have 40 acres or 80 acres spacing between wells.

In my opinion, this La Salt Dome became unstable because of the number of wells punched through it AND the extraction of mass (oil/gas) within the Salt Dome causing it to "suck down" and emplode causing this massive sinkhole.

The Regulators (TRRC) in Texas are probably freakin out behind the scenes.
