Louisiana has been shrinking a bit every year, but now it seems the process is speeding up drastically. I wonder how much of it will be left in 20 years. Looks like we're going to see a lot more Cajuns here in MS; some will probably go to TX too. The land is a little higher here, but I don't know if it's high enough to stop a sinkhole on the rampage. There's been some talk about gas drilling here, too, but I hope people see this and think twice about allowing it.
