Entire La. Sinkhole Parish On Shutdown, Homeland Security Monitoring

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Louisiana State Police have shut down the entire parish where Louisiana’s giant sinkhole is, saying it is due to Winter Storm Leon. The police say Assumption Parish Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness will continuously monitor this situation.

The sinkhole is a historic event, unprecedented. Winter Storm Leon’s impact directly on the sinkhole are unknown.

Louisiana State Police issued the following advisory for the entire Assumption Parish at 11:00 A.M. Monday morning:

“Due to impending winter weather conditions, all parish governmental offices will be closed on Tuesday, January 28, 2014 and Wednesday, January 29, 2014. Determination for offices opening on Thursday (January 30, 2014) will be made on the prior day, pursuant to the current weather conditions at that time.

“Please note that all Assumption parish schools will follow this same schedule.

The advisory says that Assumption Parish schools will be closed on Tuesday and Wednesday, with a decision regarding Thursday to be announced.

For information specific to area road closures, the police say to please use the following resources:

“With the impending forecast, we urge all residents to avoid driving in these possible hazardous conditions.

“The Assumption Parish Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness will continuously monitor this situation and update accordingly as information becomes available.”

Assumption Parish’s seat is Napoleonville. As of the 2010 census, the population was 23,421.

Winter Storm Leon is expected to cause the entire atmosphere to drop below freezing, bringing snow snow and frezzing water.

In areas the area where the sinkhole is, layers of above-freezing air above the ground, setting the stage for sleet and/or freezing rain is likely

Temperatures will remain in the 20s. Wind chills will be in the single digits.

The sinkhole has been plagued with manmade earthquakes and methane gas releases since June 2012.

      With John Boudreaux head of Homeland Security there, I’m sure people feel more comfortable than if anyone else was in charge during this storm.

        I’m not sure if you’re being sarcastic, but i think i like him. he’s either a bad guy or a good guy in a bad spot. i find myself in his corner. i do not question his loyalty to LA i just wonder how much help he could possibly get from his ”boss”. I’m certain they are ringing their hands, waiting on the moment they can blame him!!

      We’ve already had colder and rainier weather than what we are currently receiving, this Winter without a shutdown. I am curious why so much precaution is being taken across the area when the conditions don’t really warrant such actions. No snow is forecast now for the Gulf South in Louisiana and we are only forecast to get light rain and temperatures that should remain just at or above freezing. This is not an emergency although there is a slight chance some bridges and overpasses might freeze if the temperature were to drop low enough. At present, the highs are in the forties and the lows in the mid-30′s. Again, how does this constitute a two to three day shutdown?

      send the entire staff of homeland security there, hope they all fall in, and cover it up. Then hope that the FBI, CIA,NSA, also go there to investigate what happened to their communist and traitors from homeland security and another miraculously opens up and swallows them. Hopefully this will scare the living crap out of the bankers, the lawyers, the judges, the politicians from every level up to the white house, and they commit suicide, or go mad and or retire and hide.

      Maybe the shutdown IS due to the storm .. But a follow-up of this is definitely worth watching ..

    • damdems

      Well the liberals can say global warming caused the polar vortex that now can create sink holes by freezing the ground…. yepp that will work for the average smhoo.
