I started watching this unfold yesterday morning and it was shocking how fast and big this hole grew. As of this morning, the hole bigger than two football fields and 150 feet deep. Years of water being pumped into a salt dome is probably causing this. That's a mining term I am not familiar with. Authorites state as of now, homes are not being threatened. But the entire town of Daisetta, pop. 1000 is built on a salt dome. So residents are very concerned about losing their town. Link, slideshow and video below:
