What exactly caused the sinkhole? How much longer will we have to be out of our homes? Questions Bayou Corne residents have been asking for five months now.
“I believe that the petition that we started , it really needs to get those signatures because I think that it’s just beyond the resources the state government has at their disposal at this point,” said Alicia Heilig, a resident.
The petition asks that the sinkhole and the land around it be declared a federal disaster area and that the feds come in to investigate.
“Five months into this sinkhole, and we’re not any closer to any resolution than we were day one,” said John Achee, whose family has owned a camp on the bayou for more than 30 years.”I wish it was like you see on TV when you have the local cops, and the FBI comes in and tells everybody get out the way. That’s what I’d like to see, federal government come in here…get all of these yo-yos out of the way and investigate this thing right.”
But the state Department of Natural Resources say the feds are involved and have been since the sinkhole appeared.
