La Sinkhole Situation Just Got Much Worse! Update: Dangerous Hydrogen Sulfide Gas Detected, Seismic Activity Picking UP

TV Special: Giant Louisiana sinkhole “a history making event” — Experts have never seen anything like this before — An environmental nightmare (VIDEOS)

Well, what do you know! They are finally giving the sinkhole some attention. And, as per my luck, it is on a channel I can't get.

Here is the 3 part series done by KLFY 10 in Lafayette, LA.

Louisiana Sinkhole? -Gulf Stream Shift Linked to Methane Gas Escaping from Seabeds

[link to nuclear-news.net]

Wonder if Sandy had anything to contribute?

Thank you, Paa Tal, for the updates. Maybe people are catching on to the GOM/BP connection to the sinkhole.

I feel so sorry for the people who have had to evacuate around the sinkhole.
They never get any good news.

Options few for displaced residents

All's well. I had minor damage; got electric and heat back friday night, with cable/internet late yesterday. I'm finally getting to see photos...it's so widespread, and heart-breaking.

Okay, back to business.

I am confused by the 11-01 pictures, and the '10-31' map.

These do not look right. The 'base' photo used for the 10-31 map is from before the pipeline 'road' was lost.

The 11-01 flyover shows some great amount of something in that same pipeline area, which appears not to be coming from the sinkhole proper.

Since I have yet to catch up on everything else, perhaps this has already been explained logically.

Yet, last night I managed to get back to another sinkhole thread, pretty much finding that old photos are being used as base photos...which seems deceiving on one hand, while foolishly inadequate on the other.

Okay...I'll keep reading now!

Press Release: Earth below giant Louisiana sinkhole being ‘moved up’

[link to enenews.com]

I'm sorry to say this, but this new 'supposed' history is vastly incorrect, and insulting in many ways,

The film of the sinkhole dates back to early August...we HERE all know this, yet, the people in that area who are not well-informed are being shown pretty green trees with a somewhat mysterious small hole inside.

With authorities stating a simple 'this is unprecedented' totally discounts all of the decades long studies which mention such scenarios.

That this series continually uses words that give the viwer the impression that teams onsite are 'controlling' the spread is so dishonest, it totally diminishes any knowledge that this thing CANNOT be contained.

The statement that Texas Brine has until November 13th to present their report, as if Texas Brine is the ONLY liability in this matter.

When they mentioned the four 200' borehole perforations that are supposed to help release the gas from the aquifer...which, they say, is not working. Well, we have seen the videos in a fracking situation, where long lengths of specialized pipes with multiple collection holes are used to facilitate enhanced collection. I think there is a bit of questionable info being reported, perhaps along with faulty science.

What about the people who are being told the water is okay to drink?

What about all the indications that the surrounding waterways were ALREADY compromised?...oh, wait, they don't know this yet, since the videos did not mention it. The trees look all green, with idyllic views shown through the beautiful bayou landscape.

Then you have the scientist who quips: glad I don't have to fix it.

=============

It amounted to a neat 10 odd minutes of nicely produced fluff, with little relevant information.

I KNOW that any number of posters here could have produced a far more informative video on their computer. Unfortunately, THAT video, based upon truth and science, would not only be frightening enough to scare people for miles and miles around, it may cause a Senate investigation.

======
Sorry guys, these videos have made me so very upset, I can hardly hold back tears. And, I'm some 1300 miles away in STATEN ISLAND, which has also been dealt its own hard blow, that keeps getting worse.


I'm soooo disheartened.

Morgan, Keep in mind that the videos were done by a MSM CBS affiliate local station. We all know they are misleading people intentionally. But, as you already know, many of the sheep beLIEve the MSM would never mislead them.

I know. It's just so mind-boggling, when viewed from our vantage point.

Assumption Parish Police Jury find some stuff here on it updated most every day

La. sinkhole methane explosion possible says sheriff, refuting naysayers

[link to www.examiner.com]

Snip:
Last month, independent physicists reported to Dupré that Assumption Parish's sinkhole methane could have traveled north through waterways or rock fissures and caused the Minden military bunker facility to explode during a meteorite event.

That explosion was reportedly felt across three southern states.

So, is anyone going to bring up the effing creepy Simpson's episode last night? With all of the hype that followed the 911/Simpson's weirdness, this is quite disconcerting.

Morgan, so happy to know that you are safe and minimal damage to your place. Your area looks to be very badly damaged, is your neighborhood in tact? Thanks for jumping on and getting to the SH situation, your input is so valuable and appreciated. The news pieces were lightweight, but I sent them to my LA cousins and they did pay a bit more attention, MSM has a way of getting people to be attentive, at least.

EC, thanks to you, as always for new info here. I'm going back to read the Sheriff's comments about a methane explosion now. That is my concern, that Matt Simmons scenario will play out. :-(

Didn't watch the Simpson's last night, will go search for it, did it have to di with a New Madrid explosion?

Updated pictures of bubbling site and new situation summary of the sinkhole posted today.

Officials: Severe thunderstorm warning for Louisiana sinkhole — NOAA: This is a dangerous storm; Deadly cloud-to-ground lightning; Winds over 60mph; Destructive hail (MAP)

Man, the lightening down to the south of me towards the sinkhole area was constant about an hour ago. Looked like a light show going on down there. We got nothing, thank goodness.

These two pictures from 11-01 are curious:

The first one may just be catching the Sun, but, it certainly looks as if there is something frothy floating around in places. Could they have applied something? I am not trying to open up a pandora's box here, it just seems odd.

Or, maybe my eyes are just playing tricks on my mind.

Oh, man! Since I didn't have electric or cable, all I knew was the descriptions from our customers. Since I got to see the pictures last night (Sunday) I am somewhat in shock. It really resembles a war zone, yet, my immediate area was largely spared from the destructive flood damage. The storm due on Wednesday will be a rain-soaked one, which Sandy was not. This means that all of the partially uprooted and leaning trees will most likely come crashing down. In 7 days, our tree service only got to help about three dozen homeowners, three where people were trapped inside!

For the past two days, as news of the coming storm spreads, many panicked people are calling, pleading to get their leaning trees down. I have actually been overcome by tearing eyes, as I try to give them sound advice in lieu of being able to help them this quickly. I was compelled to tell a few elder widows and one widower to keep my number handy, so they can call me during the storm if they need someone to talk to. "Take a few deep breaths, make a cup of tea, then call me."

So much of it looks like the 9th Ward on steroids in many ways, the same high water lines on standing buildings, with widespread areas with either homes simply gone missing, or, none intact.

Unlike New Orleans, many of these homes had basements, so we are talking open pools of muck surrounded by debris in some cases. I did see similar scenes of the Mississippi shorelines after Katrina or Rita, but, I think when you consider that these areas in NY were crowded bustling city landscapes just hours before, the vast change makes you think it more a war zone.

There are many old trees down, some laying across multiple houses, spanning across 5 or 6 backyards each!

I will need a LOT of tea...

================

Sooooo, is there a link to the Simpsons? This is curious!

Thanks for your concern

So relieved to hear this. It's times like this I secretly wish there ARE galactic beings who can just zap something which would immediately neutralize the elements lurking about.

BUMP !!

Texas Brine has advised that gas venting from their relief well began on Friday and is averaging 39,000 cubic feet per day. The stack was rigged up with a water seperator and flare stack on yesterday and they have begun the 24-hour operation of flaring gas. More information will be shared as it becomes available.

Good God. This is not looking good at all. Flash burns are uncommon but they can occur. Can I post this info on my thread?

Now the 6.3 at Vancouver Island has shown up on the sinkhole seismos. Sure hope those big ones don't shake something loose down here. I'm getting a bit nervous tonight what with all the big ones popping off.

Lord have mercy! That's not good at all!

Thanks for the latest news EC and all, I am having Internet issues for the last couple of days, nothing is loading or is very slow.

Does this article indicate they are going door to door to check houses in the area for accumulations of Methane? Wow, if so, then it could ignite or no?

I appreciate your diligence in keeping these threads updated.

Thank you for this info. You know I have a sister that lives about 70 miles or so from the sinkhole. I tried to send her stuff over the last few months, but she did not respond. Well, we talked the other day and she said that no matter where you live there are doom scenarios, then she preceded to list off the doom from various locations. I tried to explain why this is different, and why she should pay attention. Bottom line, she just told me if the good lord wanted to take her she was fine with it. I was stunned to say the least. How could we be so different? Anyway, I hung up the phone with the saddest feeling; I knew there was nothing else I could do.

Hi, TG. Yes, I believe that is exactly what they are doing. And, yes, it could ignite. If it's built up in a crawl space, etc, a spark could set it off. Just like if you have a leaky stove or heater.

Morning, Vesper. I know what you are talking about. The apathy surrounding this whole thing is mind boggling. Most people outside of about 10 miles or so are just in la la land. I think they just refuse to acknowledge the fact that it is a major problem.
