Mysterious bubbles in Bayou Corne. Homes shifting around nearby

It's not known if this bubbling is related to buildings and homes shifting, but they started at the same time. That would be a big flag to me. It's time to go! I think this sounds like liquifaction. I'd like to hear from a geologist about it.

Hmmm.....

So are they positive it's natural gas? Obviously if it was leaking from a pipe you would be able to smell it so why send it for testing?

One to keep an eye on.

Whaddaya know! Swamp gas DOES exist.....go figure!

That's a joke right?

Obviously it's something out of the norm.

I'd be more concerned with the houses moving.

I clicked the link and the video played, the first thing i heard was "murder" with a womans face, what was that about..? Who caresssss about bubbles, i wanna hear about the murder.

It's an UBP (Unidentified Bubbling Phenomena) the aliens are here!!!!
Not really but I mean every other phenomena found is accused of being swamp gas , now they have gas at a Bayou and they claim 'not swamp gas' - so figured it must be the aliens we've been looking for since those two apparently are so easily confused.

On the moving houses that's really worrying, I hope they solve this before it turns out to be a local disaster in progress. I feel for the people affected who must be considering what their next move should be (not a pun) I assume waiting for a concrete explanation to help decide is frustrating too.

They said it maybe a "potential leak from an adjacent storage cavern". Don't they know how much is stored in those caverns? I am not really educated on how they measure their storage. They stated that ignition was not a concern but they seem to be monitoring just the water bubbles, yet the houses are shifting and that gas is looking for an escape. This is quite serious.

I stand by my 1st thought. Time to go!

I talked to someone who knows liquid gas more than I. It is liquifying. When it is in the cavern it is a solid but when mixed with air it becomes a liquid. Propane is odorless- they put the mercaptain(sp) in so people can smell it. BTW-propane will hug the ground. This is a dangerous situation. The person I talked to said they are not being truthful so people don't panic. Please note this is all speculation on the little information that the officials have made available.

Here is an article from yesterday. It mentions tremors that people have felt but USGS is not detecting.

theadvocate.com...

It will be a couple of weeks for the samples to be tested

Why ?

Should take minutes to do if they really wanted to know what it was.

Tremors/ earthquakes and loud booms have been felt and heard in a 45 mile radius from Bayou Corne. A mandatory evacution has been issued by the state of Lousianna. I would get the heck our of there folks this is not good.

It may be stored as a liquid, if it is leaking, it's turning to a vapor.

The linked article is from July, folks. And it doesn't say anything about an evacuation warning.

They were "monitoring the bubbles" twice a day. I guess nothing big happened.

But, as for the question of it being natural gas; by itself it has no odor. When do they add the noxious aroma (that is meant to alert us to its presence)? At the source? Or in the facilities that distribute it?

And swamps smell anyway. I'd think it'd be tough to tell the difference between a stagnant body of water and natural gas.

EDIT: Now I notice this whole thread was from end of June, early July.

i believe this is related to the Louisiania sinkhole...


it is the collapse of a salt dome cavern... the first evidence was a penetration of what seemed like refined fuel then the oil began flowing in to the vast cavern... now the petroleum & gasses are bubbling up on over 4 acres of surface land above the underground salt cavern dome


this has been going on since ~17~ August '12, if its the same event as on other links

I see the 45 mile radius for the quakes/booms, do you know the radius of the mandatory evacuation? I assume it is not the whole 45 mile radius as that is something like 140 sq/miles, just a 5 mile radius is about 16 sq/miles.
I don't know about population density in the area but even sparsely populated that would have to affect a lot of people

hey...keep voting for republicans and conservative democrats that don't want more regulations....you know, FREEDOM, LIBERTY, FREE MARKETS, MORE JOBS....i can't believe people vote AGAINST their own best interests...those whiny pinko enviormentalists are the real problem, right?, right?...next thing you know, people will start having that gas in their drinking water coming out of their taps at home...oh yeah...that's already happening.

Okay, thanks for those. Rather a strange collection of posts to link up, but again, thanks. lol.
