Town swallowed by sinkhole

Looking at the older imagery on Bing maps vs the newer images on Google maps suggests that the sink hole is just near houses, not actually consuming them right now.

Whose idea was it to store toxic chemicals in underground mines? Near where mining operations continue to take place? Who wouldnā€™t see that as a disaster waiting to happen? Sigh.

How do you know when the Google Maps satellite image was taken?

The Texas Brine company isnā€™t an oil or gas company. But they do offer storage services for hydrocarbons

Sounds close enough to me.

I agree with the rest of what you said your comments, but this sentence would mean you think warehouses are factories and silos are farms.

This is some horrible reporting. There might well be a story here beyond just the surface fact that a sink hole is swallowing up a town, but weā€™re not going to hear it from this guy. Heā€™s too busy telling a one-sided account with few to no facts and plenty of emotional language. Is this what comes of a journalism degree from DeVry University?

I donā€™t know the date but itā€™s a similar size and shape to dated photos on Flickr and Facebook.

You can see itā€™s not actually doing anything as dramatic as swallowing houses even if it does a pose a danger to the community that has required evacuation.

Imagine people losing their homes and history being hyperbolic?

Imagine those same people trying to raise awareness of their plight. Imagine yourself in their shoes.

Now yell you f***ing head off and wave your arms all around until someone gives a hoot.
