Annual pyres attract thousands to the Mississippi levees

St. James Parish residents will kick off the holiday season in their unique style this weekend.

Residents have been building bonfire structures along the Mississippi River for as long as people can remember. Most of the bonfires will be lit on Christmas Eve, when thousands of visitors flock to the parish to see the fires light up the levee.

“We’ve been doing this all our life,” said Troy Martin, who was constructing a bonfire stack along the levee Thursday afternoon with his friend, Alex Duhe.

Martin and Duhe, who have been best friends since the mid-1980s, said they have spent hours constructing their 16-foot structure for their Christmas Eve bonfire. They worked five hours on Wednesday, cutting and stacking wood, and had spent another five hours on Thursday when they took a break to discuss the annual tradition. . . .

Sinkhole Widespread Deterioration


The Examiner - La. dome collapse footage shows widespread deterioration
[snip]    . . .  In that latest Dec. 11 official flyover footage of the giant dome collapse under Grand Bayou and Bayou Corne swampland and communities, oil surfacing in a new area and inundated surrounding land is observable.
The collapsing area being called a “sinkhole” or “slurry area” is between Bayou Corne and Grand Bayou. The collapsed area, filled with salty water and chemicals, continues to spread closer to both bayous, threatening to join the two bayous. In the spring, when waters typically rise, this threat is more likely to become reality.”
