Title: Giant Sinkhole Swallows 4ft Trees - Video
Post by: JennyLeez on August 25, 2013, 11:20:32 AM

Almost enough to put me off white baiting....  almost.
Worth watching, one of those in the right place at the right time and with a cam.

This sinkhole was first discovered late last year in Parish of Assumption near Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
'Yesterday the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources said the sinkhole was growing due to a the space created by the failed underground saltdome operation by Texas Brine company. However he said the growth of this sinkhole had been expected.'

At the end have a look how far down the water level dropped from the mark on the base of the trees.
