Been LOCKED OUT of this blog at 11 a.m. EST — so something may be about to blow …
There’s an update to the recent post about all the activity to the south of the Gulf of Mexico as the Mexico volcano had a big eruption.
Freedomrox’s article from March deserves a re-read now.
Spot on reporting.
[snip] ” . . . . It seems ever more self-evident that Texas Brine knew what was happening with Cavern 3, and made plans in 2010 to abandon Cavern # 3 in favor of milling out an upper cavern starting at 2380 ft. Remember the top of Cavern 3 was at 3400 ft. so this left Texas Brine with nearly 900 ft. of salt above Cavern 3, (once they cemented the top of this cavern), and 1400 ft. above to stay safely below the caprock, then, dear reader, please realize how much salt could have been mined from such a space for years to come, and a source of income for Texas Brine and the Owner, Occidental Chemical Corp. if they had pulled this gamble off.“
NBC33 – Texas Brine: Two additional homes near sinkhole test positive for presence of gas
BAYOU CORNE, LA (NBC33) — Texas Brine has reported to NBC33 News that two additional homes (that had not previously been monitored) have undergone under-slab monitoring and the presence of gas has been found; LEL and traces of H2S. . .
Parish blog announcement about it.
Jindal signs salt dome bills tied to sinkhole . . . Only one big problem, the Bills are too late to protect the people who lived or are living in Bayou Corne near the sinkhole.
Already there is bubbling in Lake Peigneur and AGL Resources wants to expand their natural gas storage caverns (Jefferson Island Storage & Hub) and will not do an Environmental Impact Statement or Seismic studies. AGL Resources is willing to take a chance with these peoples’ lives. To export gas to China?
Senators who voted against SB200 had a chance to protect the people that live around Lake Peigneur, but failed to do so.

I have this on GOOD AUTHORITY! From Quake Watch guy, PuterMan (he was asked about this 1 a.m. event not showing on the charts) -
They have been taken down except for 2 of them. He sent the following:
It would seem that LA11 is defunct – has not been working since last Thursday. The IRIS code that gets those seismograms gets the last available day if there is no current data so 158, a partial day, is being returned.
I would say from the way that one is looking the LA11 seismo may have been withdrawn. It looks as if it is the same for the 01 and 02 channels of LA10 as well.
In fact it is worse than that. Looking in BUD I find that the only 2 recorders working are LA10, channel 03 and LA 12. All the rest stopped on day 157 as the last whole data day.
If this is true then it means they have removed public access from these recorders as I can see LA14 is working in CERI
- – -
“Excuse the French, but what a bunch of bastards!
It looks as if all except those two have been removed from public scrutiny. As you are well aware we can do little with the CERI seismograms and have to accept what we are given. By removing the access to the IRIS versions of these we are being prevented from doing any analysis on the data.
I consider this to be a serious loss and questions should be asked.”

LA17.02 is working as well. So that is it. Just 2 seismos.
UPDATE, June 13
U. of Memphis responds to inquiry -
“The CERI helicorders for the Bayou Corne seismic network are up and running with the exception of station LA12 which developed a problem yesterday.”

The Advocate – Bubbles in bayou a year ago signaled sinkhole’s birth
Ding Dong! “[resident, Dennis] Landry, who owns cabins and a boat launch where the sinkhole response is based, said 20 of 22 homes in his neighborhood south of La. 70 South remain occupied. Residents have adapted(!!!), he said, adding that each day means more gas has been removed from underground.”
This is not work trucks or drilling as far as wee know. They make constant solid color charts.

There is nothing elsewhere to cause this. No big foreign quake(s) at the moment.
