Like something straight out of "The Twilight Zone", a swirling vortex has opened up in a giant lake on the border of Oklahoma and Texas.
The gaping hole — which appeared recently in Lake Texoma — alarmed everyone from Twitter users to the Tulsa District US Army Corps of Engineers, who posted a YouTube video of the vortex. Below the video, they describe the hole as being "8 feet in diameter and capable of sucking in a full-sized boat."

That’s what Ross Perot was talking about!
Let’s hope it sucked him down first.

I’m not sure about that. It might be a tidal effect - the Rising Tide of Racism in America.

It’s just America going down the drain...

Actually if you read the story, this is happening right next to the dam, because they have opened the floodgates at the bottom of the dam. When they close them it will stop. The lake isn’t going anywhere.

Oh for Pete’s sake...
The opened the dam to drain the flood stage lake out. That “vortex” is water going into the dam spillway to increase the flow into the Red River some...
Not a bizarre happening at all.
