This carefully executed graphic novel is a fast-paced depiction of the true story of a lake in rural Louisiana that turned into a gigantic whirlpool of disaster on November 20, 1980. Told from the vantage of the lake, precise panels, clear visuals, and careful notes outline events before, during, and after the tumultuous human-assisted natural disaster. The fact that there were no casualties is the likely reason this event is not better known, though the scale and impact make it hard to forget. Cinematic spy shots highlight some of the people who were on the lake that fateful day. An uncle and a nephew out fishing, a tugboat crew, an estate owner and landscape manager, three dogs, a salt mine mining crew, oil workers and oil company men are all subjects on the catastrophic timeline. Gripping sequences outline how a multi-layered underground salt mine and an underground oil well intersected in such a way that the mine flooded, sucking in the lake water (including tankers, barges, trees, and shoreline), and then belched it all back out. Unbelievable but true, this graphic novel, along with its satisfying Author’s Note, invites discussion about human actions and the environment.
