Plink! Plank! Plunk! Something smashing below says the helicorders – - – 
AND - Texas Brine always reassures the public they know what is going on below Lake FUBAR, not to worry, homes can be re-inhabited blah, blah. They claim the next geology events will be to the WEST side of their failed salt dome (that they made fail, fail, fail!) . . . so how come way EAST, across the other side of the Bayou, LA15 has been offline since the end of March?

The Advocate – Texas Brine to conduct depth test on cavern
By David J. Mitchell
Texas Brine Co. plans to conduct a key test Tuesday on the depth of its failed Napoleonville Dome salt cavern, the suspected cause of a large sinkhole in Assumption Parish, company officials said.
The test is expected to show how close the salt dome cavern is to being completely filled with rock, a point when scientists suspect the grumbling, growing swampland sinkhole may finally begin calming down. . . .
. . . Drillers will send a tool called a sinker bar down the access well until it hits bottom, providing a measurement of the cavern’s depth, [ spokesman, Sonny]Cranch said. They also will conduct a sonar survey of the cavern’s remaining open interior . . . .

GOHSEP has new Situation Summaries posted.
- Assumption Parish Situation Summary, 03/26/2013
- Assumption Parish Situation Summary, 03/28/2013
- Assumption Parish Situation Summary, 04/02/2013
This one from 3-26 has a map (p.33) of the new CORS monitors. CORSwebsite has been added to the sidebar under the ‘seismic monitoring’ section.
And it says – DOTD is doing something with a projected ‘bypass road’ (p. 32). We found a recent Hwy 70 inspection report. They do inspections for tilt or movement of the surface.
GOHSEP has a disaster plan page for different agencies. The Situation Summary said they had put up a widget for traffic re-routing but we can’t find it.
Crosstex Update (dated Mar. 30) -
WELL #1 – 25,429 barrels of BUTANE
WELL#2 – 10,018 barrels of PROPANE
They claim they are just doing ‘normal operations’. Really ???
They are actually ADDING more butane into the risky cavern while Bayou Corne is swamped by Lake FUBAR!
Crosstex update 3/27: 24,678 barrels of Butane in WELL #1

Bayou Corne, Louisiana
Bayou Corne, Louisiana
Our sixth flyover of the Bayou Corne sinkhole since last August revealed a site much worse than we could have imagined last summer. Unlike previously, rainbow sheen now covers virtually the entire visible sinkhole. Many trees on the west side have now disappeared, as has quite a large corner of a dirt work pad at the southeast corner.
While the close-up photos are dramatic, the distant photos that include the community and surroundings are most compelling. In those we see a beautiful, neatly maintained neighborhood of homes in startlingly close proximity to peril. All around are wetlands and forests of cypress, the uniquely beautiful signature of Louisiana. Who could blame people for settling here and staying for generations on generations? But what now?
The photos and videos speak for themselves. Our own first-choice photos are above. Here is a video, followed by a larger gallery of photos. Feel free to contact us (at Info@OnWingsOfCare.org) if you would like to use higher resolution copies of any of these for purposes that benefit the public -- especially any residents of the Bayou Corne community. Let us know if we can be of any more help to you, with flyovers or otherwise!
Many thanks to OWOC volunteer and photographer J. Brayton Matthews from Flightline First of Lakefront Airport in New Orleans for joining us today. And to Joyce Riley and herPower Hour radio listeners for once again donating to cover our fuel costs for this flight!
