A massive sinkhole that has terrified some in a small Texas town and captured the attention of national media continues to expand.
over the weekend shows buildings, tanks and other structures submerged in water. Deep fissures have formed around the edges of the hole.
It’s unclear whether the new eruption is an expansion of the 2008 sinkhole or a second collapsed chamber, Howe said. For now, he has recommended the town monitor the hole and develop a plan in case it begins to shift quickly. In Daisetta’s case, oil well drilling dating back to the 1920s almost certainly contributed to the sinkhole, Howe said. The sinkhole sits on the former DeLoach Oil and Gas Waste Well.
