Isaac does not change Assumption sinkhole

Lol I had to laugh at the last paragraph, the hole is like 400 ft deep.
Sooner or later I guess, if the sides keep caving in it might fill itself up lol in some other worldly dimension.


A Thursday morning check of a large sinkhole in Assumption Parish shows “no significant changes” in the size of the slurry hole, parish officials said.

“It didn’t grow any,” said John Boudreaux, director of the Assumption Parish Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness.

Also, Texas Brine Co. LLC of Houston announced Thursday in a statement that $875 weekly housing assistance checks will distributed by Worley Catastrophe Response from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday at St. Joseph the Worker Catholic Church parish hall, 3304 La. 70, Pierre Part.

Texas Brine officials said the next week’s check will be distributed on Thursday, Sept. 6.

The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries and Louisiana State Police physically checked the hole about 9 a.m. at ground level, Boudreaux said.

The sinkhole has widened, as expected, since its emergence earlier this month as the edges of the hole, also known as a slurry area or slurry hole, have fallen in from time to time and begun filling in the hole.
