Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble...

Excitement at Lake Peigneur:

Lake Peigneur, which drained into a salt mine after an oil rig accident 26 years ago, was bubbling Thursday morning, area residents said.

Richard Suire, a retired oilfield worker who lives on the lakefront, said he saw it when he let the dog out Thursday morning. "It was bubbling up probably a foot and a half high, and 15 feet north and south, and about two to three feet wide," he said.
