There is the mother of all sinkholes — the Corne Bayou sinkhole — in Napoleonville, Louisiana, 75 miles west of New Orleans, which is a disaster in the making. (See my post of February 3, 2013.)
The dimensions of the Corne sinkhole are staggering — and growing by the day. If the salt dome collapses, the resultant super sinkhole will be as big as 30 football fields!
Here are some pictures of the sinkhole:
Erin Brockovich is the plucky woman who helped get millions of dollars in settlement money for dozens of residents in Northern California who were stricken with cancer from contaminated ground water caused by a company.
Chris Nakamoto reports for Louisiana’s WBRZ Channel 2 that last Saturday, March 9, 2013, Brockovich visited the Corne sinkhole to assess the situation and meet with the residents of Napoleonville for two hours.
Brockovich is sounding the alarm that the residents must heed officials’ advice to evacuate.
Brockovich said:
“The residents are “being told, ‘This is dangerous. Get out.’ And they need to get out. That land, those homes, it’s useless now. They’ve got a situation, they’re trying to tell the community clearly, ‘This is a mandatory evacuation.’ That means danger. There’s serious gas pressure there. There is absolutely risk and potential for explosion.“
If you or someone you know live near the Corne sinkhole, you must EVACUATE!!!
