They do a trick with using no-contrast or tiny type on important graphics. This time, with the newer depth survey they outdid themselves with ultra-thin defining colored lines. A hair.
And the reason is apparent when you enhance the graphic! The cave-in is beyond the berm road to the west and south (red line on art). The berms are out of the collapse zone boundaries.

This line in red on the pictures here is the outer dotted brown line showing outer perimeter susistance on May. 16, 2013. It weaves TWICE outside the berm.
Furthermore, Freedomerox posted pictures of homes damaged by subsistance quite a bit further away in his article last month. A reader of his blog chimed in to say “House roofs don’t leak…

You might want to consider using the pic I sent you instead 😦
It’s way more revealing, nearly HALF the berm is under threat.
If you compare the two contour maps from May & June, you may notice that the ( alleged ) outer limit of subsidence has slowed it’s westward trundle, and has instead started to move both to the north-west & the south-west.
In doing so to the north-west it threatens the ‘staging area pad’ & also Hwy 70.
In moving to the south-west, it’s very close to linking with the bayou, in fact it wouldn’t surprise me if the true edge of the subsidence had already done so.
Through all this the berm has become pointless, with nearly half of it under direct threat of subsidence in multiple places.
I used the old ‘art’ with fatso red line drawn in because it took so long to do.
Because … the PDF has to be blown up to the size of a billiard table to see the colored hairlines.
I thought you sent me the parish PDF link … it’s in the post. Is that the one?
Yes, I extracted the pic from the pdf & joined the dot’s with a big, fat red line.
I just got spammed binned AGAIN…
Yes, it’s the pic from the pdf, with a BIG RED LINE !!!
OK —
I will do new art … to really make it show up!oopsie … I see you sent it in the e-mail … getting it now …. (I might jigger it to make it fewer KB in size)
It’ll show up all-right, if I made it any thicker, you wouldn’t be able to see the sinkhole.
LOL! It is good … fat line shows up in a thumbnail!
OK… I have been toying with the idea of doing it in 3D, but I’m insane enough already, but I may give it a go ( if life loses all meaning ) 😉
I thought of doing an animation … but came to
Animation… An interesting possibility, though if I did, I may add a soundtrack. Not sure what I’d pick though…
A – MORNING (PEER GYNT), DE GRIEG.
B – Toilet Flush Sound Effect.
approach theme from Jaws
Interesting… But then I might be tempted to have something climb out of there rather like Grendel in the Beowulf saga…
Has anybody else noticed how similar the names Grendel & Jindal are…
I wonder if they’re related 😉
have you ever noticed how much he looks like Gollum?
More like Gollum’s sleepy older brother. He does seem to think he’s PRECIOUS doesn’t he.
I swear if you put an oversized white starched shirt on him ….
Just for that, I may do so…
Actually, I’m still learning the package in question, and prefer Architectural modelling, BUT, I do have some software that may just do it 😉

After all that work, you both are wrong. The actual subsidence layer extends anotehr 96 yards outwards from your red line. Quit taking them at face value, as this is the subsidence area reported to the Senate in March by Hecox. The true line goes thru and encompasses the Western Dogleg Berm. Ya’ll need to really stay up to date and notice they aren’t even using recent pictures. (Sigh)
Oh, btw, two months ago, a brine pipeline sunk and burst a six wide rip on the EAST Side of Grand Bayou, and was replaced. Sonny Cranch refused to answer the question, altho’ he was ordered to do so under Directive Number 6. Everything you see now is OLD Information. The subsidence area now extends to 50 square acres, not the 42 depicted in the graphic. Read the updates in “Plans” and “Texas Brine” reports for the last two months…..I never lie. It’s all there.
Freedomrox
Do you have a new picture of the sinkhole the last flyover was piece together
screen grab from OWOC #8 flyover
Freedomrox
Have you seen in the flyover all that dirt or sand there dumping near the road not far from those two big tank.
We know you don’t lie and we appreciate your updates.
I do to! I just don;’t want to ‘guess’ where the red line should go so I use theirs ….
OK — I am adding yr thoughts to the post. Do an art for me…:)
Flyingcuttlefish
Maybe I am looking at the picture all wrong.
There was two pipe line roads with tree dividing them at one time along hwy 70 this picture don’t show that.
The picture is all wrong.
You can see it on this map
well I don’t know why that is….
The first link is the more recent.
The second link is from a parish source on a blog item I retracted about a slurry spot north of Bayou Corne that turns out to have an explanation.
I know it’s not recent pic — that’s why I put in that vid. from On Wings of Care.
Here’s a plan – YOU draw a red line where it really is and make it a FAT red line.
Mine wasn’t new definition of the boundary (their claim) but just line fattening since they use hairline invisible lines.
Do a quick picture in PAINT and e-mail it to me and I’ll change the format to make it fewer KBs.
I have no NEW aerial photo to use but I can make a screen grab off You Tube.
(you just stop the vid where you want to copy and press CONTROL button + ‘Print screen’ button to save the image and you paste the image into PAINT or other drawing utility.)

these posts got Shanghaied into the spam bin! WordPress wants to shut up up! They pick on you, FR and all others with important links.
‘NSA obeys privacy’ – MY A55!!!!!!!
Yes, FDR, I am aware that the absolute outer limit of the subsidence is so much further out than the ‘THICK RED LINE’ that we’re painting on the mud. Probably more than the 96 yards you quoted.
I’m pretty certain that it’s crossed the bayou to the south, and is at least level, if not over the bayou to the west. And I wouldn’t be at all surprised to know that it’s also crossed the Grand Bayou to the east, and has long since crossed over Hwy 70.
However, apart from a few cracks in the buildings of Bayou Corne the effects of the subsidence outside of the THICK RED LINE are to all intents & purposes at the moment non-existent.
It is the GROSS effects within the line that are not only noticeable but also of greatest concern.
However, over the coming weeks, I’m certain that we’ll start seeing cracks & deformation in Hw70, the buildings of Bayou Corne, AND BOTH THE BRIDGES ( Bayou Corne & Grand Bayou ).
But the one that concerns me the most, though it’ll be sometime before it becomes more noticeable is the garage at the junction of Hwy 70 & Hwy 69.
As far as I can see from GoogleEarth, there are no apparent storage tanks, which implies that they are buried, and therefore more susceptible to the subsidence.
…to which you can also add that petrochemical / gas ‘FUN HOUSE’ that sits just north of Hwy 70 & slightly east of Lake Fubar.
aggg … MY Google Earth has suddenly reverted to years-old data!
FCF… On the ‘GoogleEarth toolbar’, do you have the ‘Historical Imagery’ switched on ?
oopsie …

looking at the OLD images shown, the side views..note that the sinkhole is spreading out..the central ‘hole’ (anyone got a better name) going down into the cavern seems the same from all views of the recent past. What is interesting..picture a sand trap..the ‘critter’ is in the center and the ‘sand’ makes a perfect ‘funnel’ shape, allowing the edges to smoothly fall in, increasing the area exposed. From experience, the sand just keeps trickling into the trap..with the trap getting larger and larger. As long as there is a communication into the sinkhole..bet it follows that same pattern. Chilling..larger and larger..spreading. Since the sinkhole has a liquid center..large sucking sound..or is that Texas Brine…??
it’s that water sucking into a volcano 🙂
“…the central ‘hole’ (anyone got a better name)…”
JEC :: I prefer the term ‘HELLGATE’, it roughly describes what’s below it, and very roughly describes what may be visited upon Bayou Corne & southern Louisiana, if this thing ever decides to pick up speed.
that’s a good ‘un … I’m going to use it!
Feel free.
Is this true underground gas fires with chemical reaction water separated into oxygen and hydrogen ?
Underground Fires that Burn For Decades
Centralia, Pennsylvania is a ghost town in Columbia County, Pennsylvania, United States. Its population has dwindled from over 1,000 residents in 1981 to 10 in 2010

Derweze
Darvaza) is a village in Turkmenistan
The Derweze area is rich in natural gas. While drilling in 1971, Soviet geologists tapped into a cavern filled with natural gas. The ground beneath the drilling rig collapsed, leaving a large hole with a diameter of 70 metres (230 ft) (The Gates of Hell). To avoid poisonous gas discharge, it was decided the best solution was to burn it off. Geologists had hoped the fire would use all the fuel in a matter of days, but the gas is still burning today. Locals have dubbed the cavern “The Door to Hell”.

I’ve heard of long lasting fires in coal country.
It is a big discussion topic when people discuss reducing CO2. It happens worldwide.
In forest fire country grass fires can go large distances underground! In deserty places like east of the Continental Divide (Rockies) where it is deserty — the grass puts down real deep thick roots. They smolder and can burn down there and spread like a lit fuse. Firefighters always have to dig trenches to stop it.
I don’t think they know how to stop a coal seam fire.
To hell with this you keep taking off what I send.
it isn’t me!
It is WordPress keeps sending everything you send that has any link in it into a ‘pending’ bin!
SORRY!
Walter, we need your input.
Please come back!
It is WordPress trying to wreck this blog because we talk too much about oil & gas industry that probably owns them!
