[...] Boudreaux said before the sinkhole disgorged the material, the water level dropped by about 6 inches and then returned to its original level. The size of the water level change was based on measurements of hydrocarbon rings left on trees. [...] “It’s just the natural course of events as this sinkhole follows its natural life,” [Texas Brine Company, LLC's spokesman] said. [...] The coinciding long-period tremor, which Boudreaux said lasted about four minutes on Tuesday, is of a variety in the Bayou Corne area that researchers at the University of Memphis Center for Earthquake Research and Information previously have attributed to the movement of underground gas or liquids. [...] Boudreaux said the latest instance produced more material than in the past. [...] |
