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.”
Reassuring words (yeah right). He was the guy that said on TV he wanted quadruple the value of his property prior to the sinkhole for him to sell out. If the thing doesn’t blow up they will be flaring gas long after he has been buried. Living that close the choice is obvious.
I would think at a minimum fair market value plus 10% and moving expenses at a minimum of 10K would be fair. Those properties will never regain their value, they will never be affordibly insurable. Time to go. Just me talking though.
Everyone there should get busy looking at what happened at Love Canal.

In China, a man driving a scooter discovers other end of Louisiana Sinkhole –
– and mistakes it for a drive through 😉
I’ve been following all the info. on this site for awhile, but have never posted. There is a video on youtube dated yesterday about methane bubbles coming out of the ground in Kenner, La. I am not very good at this linking thingy yet or I would post it. I think it’s worth watching b/c of the seriousness of the situation. This guy is out filming in his yard after a rain storm and bubbles are coming up out of the sidewalk and they have sidewalks rising up. Just thought if this is happening in Kenner it really is time to get out. Thanks for all the hardwork guys, this is my go to place for sinkhole news.
Try to get someone to put Kenner film up on you tube and post the url here (in comments)! We’d all like to see it.
Is this it ? –
Yes that’s it. Thank you!
No problem Heather.
wow — wow — so FAR AWAY!
I’d get gone! Yikes! sooooo scary!
found it … yeah … it is way up by N.O.

Ok, let me try this flyingcuttlefish. I just read he’s called the sewer department and the gas department, no answers. So, here goes….http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGeuydPSJVY
The title is South Louisiana Street Explosions – Bubbling Water from ground and sidewalks.
I’m sorry but I don’t even know if that’s a URL, that’s what you’re dealing with. Hope it helps though.
thanks — got it — you are a star!
Thanks, your my first link thingy! Yes it is far from the sinkhole, makes you think the whole area will either sink or blow. Very scary.
very …
Heather, I’m not sure, but I think that if you put links to videos on their own line with nothing else, then WordPress seems to embed them.
Adding anything even a ‘fullstop’ confuses wordpress and so it leaves it as a link, rather than showing the video.
FCF, how does it feel to be a ‘link thingy’, I hope it doesn’t hurt ( much ) 😉
Heather… I’m just teasing ;D
pretty damn good for Heather for first tip!
Yes, I agree, a damned good tip. Congratulations Heather 🙂
That’s good to know! Very funny, all in good fun. lol
Yes Heather, we takes our fun where we can here, usually at TB’s or Guv Rip van Jindal’s expense.
Thanks guys. Thought it was worth watching and thanks for putting up on the home page to get the word out!
oh, it’ll get out alright! Thanks for the great find! Now, up near N.O. there are all sorts of chemical leaks and industry dumps things down the drain …
…. but if it smells like methane, acts like methane, bubbles like methane and blows up like methane …. maybe it IS methane! 🙂
