This sinkhole is a bigger deal than some might think.
What is the Mitt Obomney plan on this, anybody know, other than get out of Dodge?
First of all there are some 50 salt domes in the area of Assumption Parish. The story of what is in them seems to change daily. If this gas is ignited the explosion would roughly be one and one half times larger than the biggest nuclear device in U.S. service. This is not taking into consideration the oil and gas pipelines in the area, all about 50 miles from Baton Rouge.
Some estimates from Deborah Dupre’s sources indicate a blast area of some 4 KM, enough to damage cement buildings. It would include Donaldsonville, Louisiana. There are huge refineries all over the area all the way to Houston, many pipelines and smaller refineries. Locals are reporting tremors in the area.
The sinkhole area is emitting seismic signals that are being recorded, according to Seismologist Stephen Horton at the University of Memphis. Horton’s work at the university involves monitoring the New Madrid fault line for the United States Geological Survey (USGS) including the Louisiana sinkhole disaster.
The massive butane pocket is several hundred feet from the sinkhole, if it breaches a lightning strike or other spark would produce unimaginable results throwing radioactive particles for large distances.
We are talking about more than a sinkhole here, we are talking about global phenomena. You won’t get confirmation of this from sheriff Mike Waguespak.

Don't tell me let me guess, It is all Obama's fault ! Now is this going to happen before or after the big martial law takeover . . . .
