Clipped your post. I didn't believe it was an earthquake but I thought for sure it could have been a collapse or more sinking. The area has been having rain and I thought we were seeing the effect of. Venting??? It could have been, it was about 2:30 at the sinkhole. I wonder could they have been doing something in preparation to shut the operation down for the night. But this is not something that happens every day.

First of all let me say I do not believe it is seismic as in earthquake. The next question is could it be collapse of walls in the sink hole. No I do not believe it is mainly because there are two virtually identical signals and for that to happen in a pit wall collapse would be odd to say the least.
The next problem is that IF this was a wall collapse there would not be the pattern that you see there. It would be progressive. I also suspect that it would be much quicker than 8 minutes of more that this sequence takes. * minutes however excludes traffic for these two events.
We were talking about venting earlier. Could this be venting.? That would explain the symmetrical pattern and t

Officials with the Assumption Parish Police Jury say the giant Louisiana sinkhole in Bayou Corne "burped" around 11:30 a.m. Tuesday.

This is the latest update that I found, and the network was the only ne with this information. "Burping" seems like a sort of non-technical term for what happened. I take they mean that the sinkhole itself released a giant cloud of gas? What kind of gas?
considering it is near a full moon and LA high tide peaked around 4pm ( water.weather.gov... ) what are the chances the signal is related to an aqua-rinse of the salt dome ??

yes, i read that when you posted it ... but that was before we had "readings" to review.
do you still hold the same opinion ?
and if not, why ?
anyway, you and i have had our discussions with differing opinion and i hope you know i appreciate both your skill and input, however, i do believe this is likely to be one of "those" discussions.
so please bear with me, i harbor no disrespect but i think the reason these signals are present yet foreign to you (and others of equal skill) is very important to the situation as a whole.
I still believe that the rise and fall of the tides can have an effect on seismic activity. Some even believe that the tidal forces can affect the inner parts of the continents away from the oceans. I don't know if I want to go that far, but I definitely believe that tidal forces play at least a small part in coastal seismic activity. If the area is unstable enough the tidal forces could provide just enough extra force to push the solid masses beyond their "tipping point".
Think of it like a huge slab of rock that is just barely balanced. All it would take is a little shove to make it fall. But that same "little shove" would have no effect whatsoever if the rock were sitting solidly on it's base. The same can be said for any unstable system and any small force that would destabilize it. The tides could easily be that force if the tectonic system is unstable enough.
i could be mistaken but i think we've learned from each other along the way
I am not always right about things (Note to self: NEVER admit that ) and even at my grand age I am happy to learn
a very great lake of frozen methane gas, which lies beneath the Gulf of Mexico. Some geologists warned that this hot oil could leak into that lake of frozen methane gas and melt the frozen gas, causing this great and massive methane lake to rupture!
But, I tell you, oh state of Louisiana, you are a cancer! You are a grievous sore in My face! You are a great blot upon the face of the whole earth; and I will erase you!
I will continue in My judgments against you; and I will continue to plead with you to repent through My great judgements, until I erase your very existence! For, you are rotten, oh state of Louisiana! You are rotten to the core and I will no longer allow this evil before My face!
