Bayou Corne Sinkhole information

People in that area need to have a plan to get-out-of-Dodge.

Now they are recording tremors in the area of the sink hole

Jeeze! That is a huge sink hole! Hope people heed the warnings. Stay safe.

Maybe it was in the Natural Disaster section I was reading up on this? Can't be sure, atm.
This video, may could help some folks understand better, what they are dealing with.
About 14:44, it tells of the worst salt dome collapse, The Jefferson Island salt mine.

More tremor activity at the site halts operations:

WWL - AM870 | FM105.3 | News | Talk | Sports - Tremors At Assumption Sinkhole Halt Work

Assumption Parish officials say a moderate increase in tremors at the 15-acre sinkhole near Bayou Corne has prevented some work there since Wednesday.

Parish emergency preparedness director John Boudreaux says the tremors aren't strong enough to indicate another edge collapse. And he says they sometimes drop from the current level.

The last slough-in and burp was in mid-April. It added about three acres to the sinkhole.

Texas Brine, state and parish officials have said the tremors and surface slough-ins occur normally as the sinkhole finds its final shape and size.

Friday marked the ninth month that 350 residents of Bayou Corne and Grand Bayou have been under an evacuation order.

New salt dome sinkhole activity, 8/21/13.
These guys are either incredibly brave, or incredibly........ er........ naïve.
Everyone in La, heads up! (I wish that was funny) Good luck and do keep an eye on that thing!

The sinkhole is now a 25 acre hole, some 350 feet deep. Mini-earthquakes are occurring.

Bayou Corne sinkhole could require decades of monitoring once brought under control: officials - NY Daily News

There is also methane gas seeping, and fears of an explosion are growing.

There has been seepage into one of the aquifers as well.

New video update today for folks. Seems the trees are moving again. I'm not sure what the graph is about at the end, perhaps land tremors happening?
Again, folks in that area, heads up and ears perked! I hope everyone can and will be safe during this thing reforming the land.

More bubbles more than 3/4 of a mile from the original sink hole.

guess I'll cancel my vacation there

Well, that area is home to me.

Sad to see people lose everything!

How awful. How did this happen?

Read the first post in the thread.

How awful. How did this happen?

by Texas Brine drilling for salt using injection methods, or in one word, "fracking".

You are unable to leave politics out of any post!

I would suggest actually understanding the geology involved in fracking (you NEVER find oil in salt domes unless the government put it there back in the 1970's).

I also request that you refrain from injecting politics into everything ... or do you think this post does not refer to you as well?

I think he was serious.

Rather than allow someone's disinformation to cloud the discussion, as there is no fracking going on in south Louisiana --- the area is not geologically suited to such --- please go to Wikipedia's explanation:

One more little tidbit about fracking in south Louisiana:

Louisiana and Fracking | Earthjustice

A map showing where fracking accidents have occurred since 2008:

http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=U...1.484893,-91.955566&spn=5.619929,6.427002&z=7

Bayou Corne is NOT listed.

Perhaps geography lessons would be in order as well.

Assumption Parish is south and EAST of Baton Rouge, LA. Almost a midway point between Baton Rouge and Thibodaux.

In no way did I inject politics into this at all, stop attacking me. Maybe you should read the rules.

In reading the Wike explanation, it clearly states that Texas Brine has no idea why this happened but they do inject chemicals and water into the geology in order to harvest the brine which they dry to use as a base for lye. It might not be fracturing shale, but it is using fracturing mining.

Yep, since "fracking" - while not involved in the collapse - is a hot button POLITICAL ISSUE, you have injected politics into the discussion.

Brine is a salt product and is not produced by fracking.

Dave's statement was about geology, not politics. Why go off on him, why don't you just correct his geology. No one is asking you to actually be civil to him, but maybe you could consider it........
