I've looked on the new vid posted today, and must be blind. I'm having trouble telling exactly where the new bubbling is. Old eyes, I guess. But I'd say that the strong bubbling, the strong seismic sctivity, and the steady growth of the sinkhole (compare that Oct photo to the newest fly-over!) is an indicator of things getting worse. If the new bubbling is closer to the butane caverns, that really is bad news!

I haven't seen any info lately on readings on the bottom depth of the TX Brine cavern. Last I saw said that the bottom had risen by another 30 feet, I believe. But that was a couple of months ago. Wonder if they've taken any further measurements! For those of you who haven't read the other threads about the sinkhole, it was determined that the bottom of the cavern is being deformed upward, probably due to the pressure of the immense methane/oil deposit under the salt dome. That methane is believed to be rising to the surface via cracks in the salt, and is now in the local aquifer.

Thanks for posting this info today, OP. Forgot to say that earlier!
