September 29, 2012 Resident Briefing in Assumption Parish (Emphasis Added):
Resident: There is something… this natural gas is going to find the least point of resistance. And it’s coming up and obviously, these bubbles started in one location and they’re moving all over the place. If you don’t have a blueprint of what that is, this could be 20 miles away.
Parish President: I agree…
Resident: This could be going on for years… I know you’re going to vent, what I’m saying is this thing could be going on for many years, and going in a lot of different directions. And if portions of the dome keep collapsing and it gets shallower and shallower then you’re going to get some of these larger and larger… This dome is going to continue to collapse and everything gets shallower and shallower. And my concern is are these cracks, in some areas, going to get bigger and bigger and expand further.
DNR Official: We did some subsidence monitoring… Some of the logs have showed fissures and cracks…
Resident 2: How far out are they going to test the aquifer, it seems like we need to go further out than what we’re going?
Unidentified Official: We did some well search surveys… we did that in about a 1 mile radius. Now we’re expanding that to regional. We don’t have as much data in these northern areas.
Parish President: They’re testing water wells in a 5 mile radius (10 mile diameter).

The officials will probably say the whole thing is a natural disater…
sesmic activity caused the dome to colaspse and it contained natural gas and naturally occuring radon….and this is all just a terrible natural situation….you can stay if you want….or leave but the corporations are completly free from all liability-naturally…have a nice life!

We need to stop hollowing out the earth. Not needed. Not wanted.

Obviously someone thinks it's wanted and needed or it wouldn't be happening.
All for financial gain or easy dumping of toxic chemicals of course.

THE dome? There must be 30 or so domes in this immediate area, according to maps. Why this matters is that for each one to be breached…since they all contain various toxic, flammable, or radioactive substances… They are either feeding into one another…which doesn't sound likely…or they are all being fractured or breached from below, releasing what is now seeming more and more likely to be methane gas. there is no way THE dome is affecting private property 4 miles away.

No wonder Texas Brine is holding back. It is starting to look like this is much bigger than just a problem with their collapsed dome. It could be related to the oil well blowout mentioned a while back, or even the BP disaster. I imagine that there is frantic butt-covering going on at those companies this very minute, with enough spin being manufactured to tip the planet off its axis. Personally, I suspect it is from the BP disaster, just that it has taken a little time for their chickens to come home to roost. Perhaps this is the slow motion part 2 of that catastrophe, and if so, these people are never gonna see any compensation, considering who owns BP. Forget it, people, run away and save your life, cos it's all you're every gonna get.

Repost from a few days ago, but excellent diagrams of BP saltdome penetration…
(Bubbling gas)… "must be either communication from either one of the other storage caverns, or 'natural' gas from the formation surrounding the salt dome. Those rich formations extend right down the Mississipi Canyon, and are partially formed by methyl hydrates (frozen methane saturated rubble) that makes up much of the seabed of the Gulf of Mexico. Louisiana, Texas and Mississippi share geology.
At the time of Deepwater Horizon, there was much discussion about the colour of the substances spewing from Macondo Mississippi Canyon block 252 after the rig sank. Also, speculation that the DWH had set off a chain of events that could extend underground northwards from the Mississippi Canyon prospect, up to Louisiana.
The best explanation that I found that better than any other explained the characteristics of the Macondo well blow out (apart from simple greed, speed and incompetence) was drawn up by BK LIM. COINCIDENTALLY, his theory was that TransOcean had hit the side of salt dome. The hot escaping fluids that rushed up through the fault lines were melting the methyl hydrate floor (melt temp – 0c)and could result in an unstoppable venting until the reservoir ran dry, or pressure equalised with the outside.
The was also the risk there that the salt dome would 'cavern out' (as Bayou Corn is) and collapse..(cont)

Like I said, Bayou Corne is a dead town, and some still seem to resist the fact. The water table has been compromised. Fortunately, New Orleans gets its water from the Pontchatrain. It won't be affected. Baton Rouge is uphill and upriver.
Most of the salt domes today are used for storage, whether temporary or permanent. If others in the fracking business hire companies like Texas Brine to store their sludge as a quick way of getting rid of a headache, then we are in serious trouble.

Bayou Corne is a dead town and maybe many other towns around it. I feel like we are swimming in uncharted territory. Always like reading your comments dosdos. However, we in New Orleans, do get our drinking water from the Mississippi River and not Lake Pontchartrain.

My apologies, but I was going by what a friend in New Orleans told me. Seems that the two main pumping stations, Carrollton and Algeirs, supply the majority of New Orleans water supply. However, the neighborhood where he is, out near Morrison in far east NO, is fed by a small station on the Pontchatrain located east of the airport.
I looked into the refining process of NO public water, and for many compounds, there is no real removal system. The filtration system is sorely lacking. The best they have is weekly monitoring tests upstream for a handful of organic compounds. I wouldn't be prone to drink the tap water there. I'd install a reverse osmosis unit before using it for drinking and cooking.

Uh,unh. If this methane is 10 miles out we're fried. It's not towns. It's states. This WILL at some point explode, because they can't burn off that much surface gas before it accumulates in the air and has the oxygen necessary to explode. Remember that this is likely the result of a BOP failure in the area at 7250 feet. Remember the BP disaster was a BOP failure. Remember, according to Huffington Post, there have only been two BOP failures in the past 30 years and they both involve compromising the methane layer. Why is that important? Because if this is intentional…the results are expected and projected, and are not what you want to believe or want to hear. Wake up.

Methane clutter is also mentioned by Arto Lauri as causing Fukushima explosions, and is supposed to be the reason Germany is shutting down their nuclear power plants.

Hi Anne, I believe Germany shut down several plants immediately after 311 because the Siemens controllers that are so commonly used throughout the world to control 'production lines and equipment' are the same or similar to those that were deliberately infected in Iran with Stuxnet virus (alledgedly co-authored by US and Israel. Apparently Stuxnet tricks the instrumentation/gauges to show incorrect readings of what's going on inside big production machines. In the case of Iran, to spin their uranium enrichment centrifuges faster and faster until they self destructed, with engineers unaware of it because the dials show everything AOK. Fuku was apparently 'offline', ie not connected to the net, so the virus could only have been introduced maliciously through a terminal within the facility. Possibly sabotage by someone with access via a maintenance contract or similar.
It's possible that Germany realised immediately that some of their plants (with the same Siemens controllers?) were vulnerable to sabotage or nuclear blackmail, so took them off power.
Is the denial of Seimens that they supplied Iran with nuketech connected? Who would NOT want that collaboration to be happening? Just askin…

What the virus did, was take a digital picture of all the instrumentation readings i.e. temperatures, RPM of the centrifuges on the control panel(s) that technicians watched over and then the virus set/forced the instruments to read that everything was typical and normal while technicians reported the operation running smoothly.
In reality when instruments showed everything normal, stealthy the virus took control of the machines, racing them up to a high speed then quickly slowing them down, repeatedly.
This for one, ruined batch refinement of uranium plus at the same time ruined the bearings of the centrifuges. Very expensive and difficult to replace. The technicians never had a clue as to why their machines were burning and freezing up as instruments read normal to them.
