The Living Force
Hi Ekios,
The Map is really impressive! Especially the groupings of sinkholes in a given radius. The U.S. looks like swiss cheese.
A link I gave earlier has logged two more sinkholes for September in Titusville, Florida (17th) and Ottawa, Canada (18th).
The only entry for October, so far, is an updated article on the sinkhole with video and pictures and discussion of the recent meteor explosion and related events in Louisiana.

“I believe that the methane is traveling up that aquifer (under enormous pressure) and that the meteor which was spotted by numerous people on the night of October 15th, impacted somewhere closer to Lake Bistineau and ignited a methane pocket, causing that massive explosion and percussion wave,” Yocum stated. “Residents closer to Lake Bistineau reported more intense damage, pressure wave, shaking…. than those in Minden.”
“A resident of the Lake Bistineau area reports that it almost shook their house off its foundation,” the News Star reported Tuesday.
Sheriff Gary Sexton said that, as he was driving in the Springhill-Cullen area, he saw two flashes from the south — before the blasts began.
“Earlier in the morning, Sexton said there was a ‘possibility that a meteor did hit the ground’ in the area, but that theory was put to rest with the confirmation of the blast at the Camp Minden bunker,” WAFB reported.
The Bayou Corne sinkhole disaster “is made all the more worrisome” because of a nearby Crosstex Energy LP’s “well containing 1.5 million barrels of liquid butane, a highly volatile liquid that turns into a highly flammable vapor upon release,” CNN has reported. Assumption Parish Sheriff Mike Waguespack said a breach of that well could be “catastrophic.”
Something unexpectedly triggered an emergency flare 40 feet high at that Crosstex well last week. An explosion at that well would be in the range of one and a half B83 thermonuclear (hydrogen) bombs, according to scientists.
“This is extremely serious,” Kim Torres, spokeswoman for the Office of Emergency Preparedness, told ABCNews.com. “The people are very aware of how serious this is.”
Aside from a plethora of oil refineries and oil and gas pipelines, Louisiana has two nuclear facilities.
