Date: Aug 30, 2012
This morning, LA Department of Wildlife & Fisheries and State Police are evaluating the sinkhole. DNR has advised that they will perform an evaluation today, as well. It will take Texas Brine and all industries involved in the drilling 2-3 days to rig back up. More specific updates will be available as the day continues. As posted previously, NO assistance funds will be distributed today. We expect an update from Texas Brine regarding this at some point today and will make that information ASAP.

Danger is from flooding over the next days/week as Issac dumps more rain over the Mississippi delta areas. Time will tell, good the authorities are keeping close tabs on the situation. Texas Brine has quite a bit to pay out to the victims. Chevron has already made an announcement weeks ago the situation/damage to any salt dome used for storage– was not their financial responsibility–and will not be until December 31, 2012. Chevron has an eye on the situation as well.

"Sinkhole, schminkhole
it's really quite normal
on a geological scale,
if we wait long enough
it will fill with whales!"
That's ScienceTerrific
