After heavy rain and flooding, a very large and scary sinkhole opened on Constantinople Street in Uptown yesterday and it was terrifying.

I finally got to fulfill my dream of photographing a sinkhole. #sinkhole #constantinople #theneworleansadvocate #cityworkers #hole

This isn't trick photography. The New Orleans Sewerage and Water Board is working to fix a massive sinkhole in the Irish Channel.

Nope, we're totally not freaking out about this or other signs of New Orleans finally being swallowed by the sea. Happy Jazz Fest, everyone!
