- Pam Poirrier, Bayou Corne resident: Wondering when you wake up in the morning if you’re going to be in the sinkhole, or if you are going to be able to come home. It’s been going on for a long time. We don’t really get any answers. It’s all scientific bull. You go to the meetings, and you feel like you’ve wasted your time. You don’t have time to waste.
