Anyways the oil that is in the ground is there for a reason, and when they take it out of the ground and leave huge empty caverns. What are they now surprised that there are sinkholes over the area. If they take it out then I think they are supposed to fill it with something else so as to not cause any unwanted problems. But you know, profit means cutting margins wherever and whenever you can. And since we like oil so much were basically constantly pumping it out of the ground, and you can bet your bottom dollar that for every action there will be a reaction, ie sinkholes and etc etc.
I do not know but I think they are pumping Non- Newtonian fluids in those holes to replace the oil, or at least there supposed to or they should.

Well, if you are *out there* you are not alone.
I'm there with ya.
Even though incredibly sad, what an awesome experience!
You love your Mother and She knows it.
In 2010, when the oil was gushing into the gulf for those few months (seemed like forever!) I literally and truly got physically ill and I also had some minor issues with blood circulation.
I can't believe how easy it is for the world to forget just how worried (some of us) we were about poisoning our food chain and water system...just because it isn't in our face anymore doesn't mean there is no poison.

Ummmm I hate to busrt your geographic bubble but the Saint Lawrence Seaway takes most of the water from the great lakes across the top of New York state and empties into the Atlantic. The great Niagra Falls is part of the St Lawrence seaway and that water feeds directly the lakes. www.greatlakes-seaway.com...

Check here. It shows not only the cone but the computer models.

Most of the models take it closer to new orleans than the cone. The weather channel was saying that they expected the models to be closer by now but they aren't.
The hurricane watch is changed to a hurricane warning for the northern Gulf of Mexico from east of Morgan City to Destin, Fla., including metropolitan New Orleans, Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Maurepas, according to the National Hurricane Center.
Following a meeting of the Unified Command Group at the Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness, Jindal on Sunday afternoon urged Louisianians to prepare for Isaac and encouraged voluntary evacuations for people in parishes in the hurricane watch zone that are in low lying areas, areas South of the Intracoastal Waterway and areas outside of levee protection, according to a news release from the Governor’s Office.

The cone is just a "model".
You asked for something showing it could turn to NOLA and I posted that.
Your chart shows the same thing from the same site. The only difference between the two charts is the one I posted also shows the cone.
As to the sinkhole, I don't think even a severe thunderstorm would do much but add a little water. Whatever is causing it is already there and doing its thing.

Ummm.. Remember that first post I made way back at the start of this thread about 'no problem.. 360 miles away...'? What the heck happened? Every model...every one of them I saw earlier showed a hugging line up the Florida coast and into Georgia. What a shift.... Now the thing looks to be going dead center, right over the top of that sinkhole. Of all the places and all the odds that a Hurricane would cross right there at this moment in time.
Off Drudge, one is what you have, the other shows 50/50 toward the LA/TX border area, so splitting the difference is dead center, bulls-eye over the sinkhole. Mr Murphy is definitely laughing hysterically out there somewhere.
