Prior to 1980, Lake Peigneur in Louisiana was a sleepy 11 feet shallow fresh-water lake, that was until oil conglomerate Texaco made a major drilling error while exploring the lake for oil deposits. Below the lake happened to be a giant salt mine, which, unbeknownst to the miners, was about to be punctured by the oil drilling platform above. Although not proven, evidence points to a miscalculation by the Texaco drilling team, which resulted in the drilling of a small hole through the salt mine ceiling, causing a violent chain reaction as the fresh water lake began rapidly draining into the mine, which soaked up the water almost as fast as it drained in. On the surface of the lake, a violent whirlpool formed which caused several barges, many trees and large portions of the surrounding terrain to be sucked into the mine. The mine was actually so large that it sucked the lake water in completely, which actually caused the flow reversal of the Delcambre canal, which drained to the Gulf of Mexico. The lake began refilling with salt-water, temporarily creating the largest waterfall in Louisiana (at 100-150 feet) and drastically changing the lake’s biology by introducing new species of plants and salt-water marine life to fill the now 1,300 feet deep salt-water lake.

Wow, this site is a wonderful example of professional calibre writing. I follow with keen interest and it keeps me sane in times of need. I have given raving reviews to my friends, and they are all going to visit soon, I’m sure. Many congratulations on your style of writing – it is rather accomplished and is deserving of a lot of credit, something which many quality writers on the internet do not receive enough of. I wonder if you could post more often (that’s not to say you don’t write enough) but I confess that’s merely me being greedy. As it stands, I definitely am extremely thankful for your site and I look forward to reading everything that you have to say in the future.

Beautiful blog! I genuinely love what you have done here. I’m going to subscribed to your rss feed so I will be able to find your messages when you blog.
I think you would be impressed with me! I have an HP server in my room (really it’s my friends.) I’m going to make him setup the rss for me. He’s in love with his website and wants me to put it every where I go on the Internet. He is good I guess. All he talks about is search engines and he is nice. So I put his site on sometimes.
