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.

That’s junk reporting there. The title and article are making a normal dam function sound like some kind of sink-hole natural disaster.

That whole article is a disgrace to journalism. (completely separate from the usual kind of political disgraces we are used to here.)

You have that right. What separates two states is a state line, not a border.

My brother actually read the article, which was sensationalized.

It is a planned thing and they do the same thing in Tulsa, near the bridge.

Whew!
