Louisiana Sinkhole becomes a 400FT DEEP LAKE!

Why would they not consult a Geologist or some kind of scientist for this news briefing, but rather instead they consult a retired Army General? Odd choice of expert...

They didn't a geologist saying there was natural gas flowing into the lake?

hmmmm ? the quality of the air coming out of the sinkhole ?

Recent new link??? This one is pretty old.

another fishin' spot done opened up!

it's going to be a long time before somebody dares to go fishing in that damn thing!

Troy Landrey has a new gator hole.

Choot it Liz!!

They kinda covered that in the video. The local officialswho might know aren't saying squat and one of them even resigned. As far as the USGS goes, I wouldn't trust them to give out any information they don't absolutely have to and then I would expect it to be sanitized for public consumption. So, IF their info is that a bazillion barrel liquid butane well just 1500 feet away just might blow the lower half of Louisiana to kingdom come, but they aren't 100% sure, count on no information getting out about that.

Sinkhole leaves small Assumption Parish community shaken

BAYOU CORNE — Deborah Rousseau recalls the first time the ground shook beneath her feet.

“It was just a little rumbling of my house,” she said. “I could feel it sitting on my sofa.”

It was the beginning of a series of events that have created a fear fueled by rampant speculation, misinformation and imposing uncertainty.

“The shaking was a little odd, but I didn't think too much of it, you know, at the time,” she said.

Tremors are a rarity in south Louisiana, and strange events didn't stop with the occasional rumbles.

Unexplained bubbles began roiling spots on the normally tranquil Assumption Parish community of Bayou Corne, nicknamed by some of the 150 nearby residents as a “sportsman's paradise.” Two nearby underground gas lines were immediately suspected but quickly ruled out as the source.

Officials set up seismic monitors and tested the bubbles, but it quickly became clear there was no certain cause for what was happening in the residents' backyard.

wow. trash the state. take the peoples money. leave them a bill. move to another place. repeat process. god bless america.

I don't think so...

And...try to think a bit more "non-simplistically."

I would of thought the same except that this is the general guy that when SHTF during Katrina had the balls to get the ball rolling and get shit done.

The guy is from Louisiana




AKA THE RAGING CAJUN

Louisiana is the disaster state

That does make a little more sense, after hearing of his previous experience in dealing with SHTF situations and natural disasters. Thank you for clearing that up.

Hopefully they will not need his expertise and people down there will be safe.

So the Director of Natural Resources that was in charge of trying to determine the cause resigned.
This is not good at all.Going to keep growing till the whole area is gone.I would be leaving pronto

I actually like the guy a lot. Seem like a humble, straight forward let's get shit done type of guy not something you see from the military

good vid, R2BOB2

deep inland water sources are connected to underground volcanic chambers. one of the deepest in the world is green lake on the big island of hawaii. it goes over 8 miles deep, and still no bottom. it is linked into the islands' volcano system.

400 feet ain't no 8 miles but...it's pretty deep.
