Japan has a large, 6.2 earthquake that may be followed by bigger quakes warns the Japan Meteorological Agency. That may or may not show up on the Bayou Corne helicorders. It was 20 km deep. Map of it. Update – a quake swarm there.
MOST OF THE HELICORDERS CUT OFF EARLY THIS AFTERNOON
The Advocate – Berm expected to contain sinkhole brine, oil < has photos
“BAYOU CORNE — Bulldozers and men have been at work building the next phase of a 1.5-mile-long berm and upgraded levee system aimed at containing the briney and oily contents of the Assumption Parish sinkhole.
Black geotextile fabric and white geosynthetic liner — about 7,800 linear feet of each — are being laid on top of a sand base that was finished in February, Texas Brine Co. officials said in a written response to questions. The white liner contains a special clay and is used to contain landfills and ponds.
Bulldozers are then spreading and compacting clay on top of the liner and the fabric, an estimated 7,300 cubic yards in all, company officials said. . . . “
” . . . . While virtually fresh at the surface, the sinkhole’s deepest waters have a projected salinity that would be about 25 percent salt by volume. The ocean has a salinity of 3.5 percent. Salinity in some parts of the Great Salt Lake in Utah reaches 28 percent, according to the U.S. Geological Survey Utah Water Science Center.
Ralph Portier, a professor in the LSU Department of Environmental Sciences, said the salt water poses a risk to fish, invertebrates and the freshwater vegetation, pointing the effect years of salt water intrusion has had on the state’s coastal wetlands, as an example. . . . “
Don’t worry, Conservation Dept. says, everything will be OK in mere hundreds to thousands of years(!).
WAFB has some photos we haven’t seen before of Lake FUBAR in this story.

A lot of big seismic activity overnight. . .and it ain’t trucks . . .
. . . unless they got a night shift and everyone is hopping.
We did some add-ons to earlier posts this week, so scroll down to see them 🙂

after clicking the time converter and the time of Japan’s latest…you’re floating on molten goo!
don’t worry … they got a lot of kitty litter!
I think magma is on the march!
Those linear are all right as long a deer don’t step on them and Crayfish – also called crawfish or crawdads don’t put a hole in them.
Historians and oral historians talking to older people that live there.
People of Louisiana were close-knit families.

thanks! I guess a lot of things could make a hole in the liner. Like a freeze and thaw cycle or mice etc.
Organic Volcanic Ash
Cat litter is made of Bentonite clay, a natural substance formed from volcanic ash.
Bentonite is clay that is is rich in minerals and it comes from volcanic ash.

I want this saved somewhere…just so we can look back months later and laugh at the bastards.

Maybe i should put it in the humor page with headline ” . . .” (fill in) ! 😉
Ain’t that the truth
Once again, everyone seemed to miss the BIG STORY here. Look at the second slide in David’s article. So they are proposing two South Side Drains to continue to poison the people, wildlife and fisheries of Lake Verret, absolutely, un-fricken-belieavable! That was supposed to be the reason for CONTAINMENT! They have suffered enough contamination already. I truly would love to see just one of the 1,150 tests of the sinkhole waters! Maybe one of you can demand that at the next meeting. YOU DO HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT THEY TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT, or more likely, LYING ABOUT!
That should be the lead story FCF. A reminder, I am not the one stating 1,150 water tests, Texas Brine did. http://www.texasbrine.com/response/TBC_Monitoring_Air-Water-Seismic_FactSheet-Final.pdf
had the big story up on the 12th … you sent it in 🙂
I think the LEAN lawsuit will yield gold as far as test results go!
I think (a guess) that certain state agencies are scurrying around trying to get more exact modelling on river water levels. Added the agency link recently to the sidebar under ‘Gov’t’ …. they seem worried about whayt happens in flood conditions to the area.
Actually I meant the drain and Water Control Gates, FcF, as the lead story. Also, WTH, all of the Geophones are down since 1:30 today, except for LA 10?
Geo #3 is up and is NOT looking good! When that one shows those kinds of readings, it is not good!!!
If Freedom still around here…found something he may be looking for!
what is url for geo3?
oh, it’s doin’ “the worm” … latest dance craze down there!
It appears that as soon as this blog became aware that Texas Brine was now in charge of the Heli-corders they were taken off line.
yeah, but it bounced over to U of Memphis sometime after that….
I hope they were just taken down and not sucked down a black hole of sludge never to be seen again!
I think they will come back up as local media will all complain.
Agree. Everytime it happens, they say batteries needed changing.
here’s some of more of my made-up stories in 2007 I made up that Al-Queda – Osama bin Laden is on the Second Level of Heaven – that there were 14 against the antichrist wus d george bush and they were going to plant 2 dirty bombs 1 in nyc and 1 in dc and also bomb the white house – I saw this on the d rad ch fox news voices of satan when they had sandbagged the whitehouse and then they were going to blow up bridges and tunnels in manhattan and in baltimore where people couldn’t get out – when they actually sand bagged the whitehouse I was trying to keep a straight face again never be a “drunken” drug addict like d antichrist george bush the d cia fell for this d dick cheney fell for this d annette bartlette fell for this d fox news fell for this and since the d cia started the arab spring and went into egypt and now they are d there too – they wouldn’t have been but….and d obama lied about him being from d chicago again never mwh the wrong Person and scientist twice in one lifetime –
and d rad ch king of anthrax at the d doe also fell for those made up stories – and he had tried to kill a couple friend of mine in sept 2006 with his anthrax for finding out they knew about him in local d ktoen and then in the summer of 2008 a friend of mine when I heard a hooker – I started to make up more stories when my friend interuppted and said stop making up those stories for these mwh’s and listen to what just happened to me – d richard lambert and the d fbi threatened me when I found out that d rad ch richard lambert is making anthrax at the d rad ch doe and I we went over how my friends back then found out too and the d rad ch fbi in ktoen told him if he told anybody they’d kill him
