Anonymous Coward User ID: 31566384 United States 03/17/2013 05:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A four-mile section of La. 70 South in Assumption Parish will be closed periodically from 9 p.m. Sunday to 3 a.m. Monday, parish officials said. The closure will allow a truck to ride the highway section, vibrate the surface of the road and send seismic waves underground for testing related to the Bayou Corne area sinkhole, parish officials said Sunday. John Boudreaux, director of the parish Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness, said each closure will last about 15 minutes, traffic will then be allowed to pass briefly and vibration will resume. Closures will extend from La. 69 near Grand Bayou, west to Lee Drive, Boudreaux said. [link to theadvocate.com] |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 36005044 United States 03/20/2013 01:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The MSM is now covering this in a light and humorous manner. Here are some excerpts (my italics)from a New York Times on-line article dated March 16. (Sorry I am not computer literate enough to provide a link.) One Sinkhole Killed, and Many Others Opened, but Experts Counsel Not to Panic By MICHAEL WINES Published: March 15, 2013 [SNIP] But for fans of sinkholes, of which there are more than one might think, this is a very good time, indeed. [SNIP] There was [WAS??!!] a nine-acre sinkhole in Assumption Parish, La., that drew a visit from the environmental activist Erin Brockovich. [SNIP] Just as sinkhole madness was starting to die down, a sinkhole no bigger than a Hula Hoop opened up last Friday on the 14th hole at the Annbriar Golf Course in Waterloo, Ill., swallowing whole Mark Mihal, a 43-year-old mortgage broker. So those of us who are concerned about this silly little nine-acre sinkhole are just crazy, right? |

Seeing it first hand, I know what could happen," said Iberia Parish Sheriff Louis Ackal. He vividly remembers the Jefferson Island Salt Mine Collapse in 1980 and is now asking Governor Bobby Jindal to stop AGL Resources from expanding its natural gas storage caverns at Lake Peigneur. So far, Governor Jindal hasn't responded to the sheriff's letter. Ackal says the sinkhole in Assumption Parish would be a mud puddle compared to what he thinks could happen at the Lake.

In the first one you can see on the far side in the shot where the foliage is not growing back and it is incidentally where a large slough occurred not that long ago. I'm far from a doom merchant but if that dome is dissolving it cannot be good news. 7even |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 31566384 United States 04/10/2013 01:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No probs been following your thread from the start. What about that area of dead trees we can see, do you reckon that's going to collapse as well? It would seem likely at this point. From the start, all of the trees that appear to be dead and lifeless have eventually collapsed inward. The green trees appear to still have some nutrients in the dirt and some solid ground to hold them up for the time being, but that could also change rapidly with the large areas that keep collapsing in. |
