SINKHOLE IN LOUISIANA DID 'NOT CHANGE' AS A RESULT OF ISAAC

Officials stated tonight that the sinkhole near Assumption Parish did not change as a result of the significant flooding rain produced by Hurricane Isaac. Parish officials said that the sinkhole 'didn't grow any' even though the area received drenching downpours.. It had been feared that the direct hit on the sinkhole was going to make the situation go from bad to worse..

As of now, at least, it appears that a bullet was dodged on that front.

Texas Brine said checks to residents who had to leave will start being issued Friday..

Though officials say 'no significant changes' have occurred with the sinkhole due to Isaac, the site has grown in the past month..
