The residents of Bayou Corne are debating the tidal flow theory and calling this a burp. The tidal movement did happen during a burp so I can't debate them.
"Ok, so apparently there is a rumor circulating that the water movement in the video below is tidal flow, and is because the sinkhole is now connected to the ocean. This is completely false! The water movement was cause by the burp that was occurring while the video was being shot! A "burp" consists of debris possibly coming up, and water (+whatever else is on the surface at the time) going down." [

Thanks for sharing this,
but I dont think we are wrong,
there was clearly no burp-action in the vid, a burp would [imo] be an irregular more chaotic and less harmonious movement-pattern ... it would consist of rings of lighter water coming up and gas-bubbles ... If debris was falling from a side there would be a bigger wave from only that side and only a small wave-pattern back ... if debris was falling on multiple sides then wave-rings would have overlapped in the water which would die away after a chaotic peak-movement ...
NONE of the above was seen in the vid of this thread.
It was a harmonious pattern from one side to the other, like breathing, like very minor tides, a constant steady movement ...
Something in the back of my head tells me that "movement" could be important to 'control' the chemistry of the water ...
Water that stands still undergoes a specific chemistry and like in swamps gas and other vapors are released uncontrolled and sometimes in bulk by natural processes, unpredictable ...
BUT
if you have 'moving water' [even slightly or periodic] then you have a controlled and more gradual release of gasses ...
In a stirred glass there will be many little bubbles surfacing, but in a glass thats left alone there is a chance that gasses flock and surface in a big bubble specially if the water is heavy or saturated with oil(s) and salts, like the ocean that water consists of LAYERS of different consistency and viscosity. A bubble [LPG, methane, other gas...] would have to work its way to the surface.
IF a dispersing chemical like corexit or gas-eating bacteria would be INJECTED in the sinkhole-lake then the danger of such a great gas-bubble surfacing would be avoided.
The question is if these "injections" could also cause this regular harmonic wave-patterns, or that it is to "stir" the water, or to keep the environment "healthy" for the injected organisms ? Moving water creates a different MAGNETIC FIELD and thus PH then water that is not moving !
Just think about it ;)
