Title: 9:45 a.m. Increased Seismic Activity Reported
Source: Assumption Parish Police Jury
Date: Sept 12, 2012
There has been reported increased seismic activity in the Bayou Corne/Grand Bayou area. This activity is not the sharp tremors that were occurring prior to the development of the sinkhole; however, indications show (through monitors set up by USGS) that seismic activity has been occurring NW of the sinkhole and it’s unknown at this time what this may mean. USGS is continuously monitoring this activity.
