After a meeting held Friday night by Harrisburg Mayor Linda Thompson, the city and residents seem to be on the same page about the recent sinkhole problem. Work on the sinkhole on North Fourth Street is progressing.  People have expressed their needs and concerns.

Saturday morning a breakfast was held at the Trinity Church of God on North Fourth Street. Not only did people get a hot meal, they could pick up cases of water and talk to representatives from the Red Cross about housing and other needs. Currently the Red Cross is helping over 15 families displaced because of the sinkhole.

Our Amazing Planet - 1/03/13, Douglas Main

A research cruise has discovered 40 previously unknown gas seeps on the seafloor off the U.S. East Coast. The plumes of gas are almost certainly methane, also known as natural gas, according to government scientists.

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas due to its ability to absorb heat, but the released gas is not likely to reach the ocean surface in significant quantities and affect the climate, said Carolyn Ruppel, a researcher with the U.S. Geological Survey, which collaborated in the research. Neither is the amount of gas likely to warrant commercial interest, she said.
