What's up with this? Bad practices by industries/drilling? Ocean levels rising every year along with the land already being swampy and low? Or has this stuff always kind of happened?

It has 51 caverns, 19 of which are hydrocarbon. The remainder are brine. the volume / day from 3 of those brine wells is fairly substantial. I have been going down there regularly since the incident started. Plot just thickened. I was scheduled to be down there all day Sunday and now waiting on my phone to ring any minute w/ new orders bc of recent news ETA: beau we my have met at some point if you have been working the incident as well This post was edited on 8/3 at 9:13 pm

Bayou Corne community is in upper left; now being evacuated. Location of the sinkhole is just above the word "Site" in the left center. (The leaking well is actually located below the word "Water" and is marked by the dark green pin. Pierre Part is off the picture to the lower left by several miles. Belle Rose is off the picture to the upper left by several miles. Hope this helps.
