I live on Lake Peigneur. More specifically, I live in Delcambre, which is a town right on the lake. Whoever wrote the article missed a fact. A house on Jefferson Island was also sucked into the lake. The chimney is still sticking out of the water today. We usually ride past it when we're out in our boat. It's quite funny to see a chimney just sticking up out of the middle of a lake. =] Just thought I'd share that with ya'll. Yeah, hi. I live on Lake Peigneur.

Better stay home until we get it right here first." Do you get that this happened in 1980 - which is, like, 28 years ago? And it hasn't happened since? Do you get that?

You must be commiting crimes against your own beliefs for using the computer. You are using energy, most likly produced from oil powered electricity. Before you say something hypocritical... think about it first. *Towards Yogesh Baxi comment*

At least in the Gulf of Mexico and on the land in Louisiana (I can't speak for other areas), oil is very commonly found by salt domes. In a few cases, those domes even get used to store excess oil or even compressed natural gas. It’s not unusual that they were drilling near a salt mine.
