I have no idea what this means. At least one conspiritard thinks Assumption Parish is sinking into the Gulf. I'm sure Roland Emmerich would like that, but probably not. One way or the other, the hole's still getting bigger.. The Examiner.
The giant Louisiana sinkhole’s water is far saltier the deeper the hole gets, state environmental regulators said Monday.
“Salinity estimates based on water samples taken earlier this month from a large sinkhole in northern Assumption Parish suggest the water becomes far saltier, even more than in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, the deeper the hole gets, state environmental regulators said Monday,” reports David Mitchell for The Advocate.
Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality officials said those test results are pending might indicate the source of the sinkhole water.
“We should be getting it this week,” Chris Piehler, DEQ Inspection Division administrator said Monday.
The expanding sinkhole is now approximately 427 feet deep, less than 300 feet from the top of Texas Brine's salt cavern that stretches down another 2,800 feet in the Napoleonville Salt Dome. Officials say they expect the sinkhole to continue growing.
It's always something with those Cajuns and their sinking land, right?
