9:30 a.m. Area of Berm Subsides

On the south side of the sink hole there was an area that has subsided to include the berm. There is approximately 400 to 500 feet of the berm that is now under water. The depth to the top of the berm is 3'9" at it's deepest point. Also, the trees on the Southwest side are showing signs of sinking, some up to 10' in depth.

No Crosstex Update Since May 18th

Since they won’t say what is in their unstable cavern we found someother news on them.

“Stability” at Lake FUBAR

Texas Brine has a funny idea of stability. If this is stable we don’t want to see what more collapsing at their failed salt dome is going to look like. Plus theCode 3 at the work site means this work making helicorders blot into a solid pattern  must be getting done by robots and trained monkeys.

Texas Brine Upbeat about Salt Dome Disaster + Sunday News

WAFB – [Louisiana] Residents urged to pre-apply for disaster food aid– For Hurricane Season
East Baton Rouge and Livingston parish residents who own or lease camps in the Bayou Corne-area have joined the growing list of businesses, residents and landowners headed to court over the Assumption Parish sinkhole..
. . .Attorney Mark Brown said Friday his clients are seeking damages for lost property value and loss of use of their camps since an evacuation order was issued Aug. 3, hours after the swampland sinkhole was found.
Brown said if the problems linger, the plaintiffs’ claims for monetary damages could mount for the defendants.“Right now it is loss of use,” Brown said. “
If Texas Brine does not get their act together and resolve the problem, it may be for permanent deprivation.”
[John Boudreaux, director of the parish Office of Homeland Security ] said that cavern depth measurements going back to last fall have shown the rock had risen inside the cavern, on average, about 3 feet per day.
But, on Friday, Texas Brine measured a 29-foot drop during one week. Boudreaux added that never before had the level of rock slumped inside the cavern since the sinkhole emerged. . . 
. . .  Texas Brine officials speculated Friday the drop could be an early sign that an awaited point of equilibrium is happening.” <Dream on!
