Unusual geological event in USA on Friday, 26 October, 2012 at 03:10 (03:10 AM) UTC.
Description
A sharp tremor was recorded by USGS monitors just after 9 p.m. Wednesday at the site of the giant Louisiana sinkhole in Assumption Parish. The giant sinkhole appeared in August near the Bayou Corne and Grand Bayou areas. The Assumption Parish Police Jury says the tremor was large enough that the body wave phases could easily be identified. A body wave travels through the interior of the earth. The preliminary location of the tremor was just SE of Oxy #3 cavern at a depth of 500m. There is no additional information specific to this seismic activity at this time. The sinkhole is now about four acres in size. Residents were forced from their homes on August third, two months after the bayous started bubbling. They are still evacuated from their homes.

Oh yeah, I saw this on television the other week, maybe the History channel, I don't remember. I was so surprised that everyone that was in that mine lived and the guy that was fishing while this happened lived too.

Yeah but some kind of gas is coming out of it and they think it might be explosive.

Well, that
is what they're drilling for and hoping to find.
