This mysterious sinkhole, which was later dubbed the "Great Louisiana Sinkhole," has been gradually gaining in size now for about seven months, and it appears to be picking up speed, having reportedly swallowed up an entire acre of land in just one day, and three acres of land in under a week. If this is the first time you are hearing about the Great Louisiana Sinkhole, you can thank the mainstream media for keeping the general public in the dark about its existence, and the very serious threat it poses not only to Louisianans but to all of humanity. An apparent product of the BP Deepwater Horizon oil disaster of 2010, this anomalous sinkhole appears to be connected to underground salt domes that are collapsing, releasing toxic gases, oil, and possibly other materials. In this particular case, degradation of salt domes near Napoleonville in Assumption Parish appear to be responsible for triggering the formation of the Great Louisiana Sinkhole, which has gained considerable size since it first appeared last August. According to the latest estimates, which are constantly changing as the sinkhole expands, more than 12 acres have already been swallowed up, and 20 more are in the process of sinking, with no end in sight.

As if they didn't have ENOUGH ON THEIR PLATE WITH KATRINA hurricane disaster...now their homes and livlihoods are again on the line with the threat of an UNPRECIDENTED NATURAL ANOMALY OF NATURE! It us just beyond words. This is the REAL DEAL, guys, if you are looking for a BOOGIE MAN to believe in...the dude hiding in your closet as a kid has NOTHING on this guy! Prayers for all concerned. Sigh.... SK |
