Sinkhole Forms in a Backyard in Florida

May 3, 2012 - An enormous and still-growing sinkhole that has led a family to evacuate their Florida home is now inching closer toward swallowing their house, raising concern among neighbors that they will also have to flee the area.

I notice the older daughter from ALF is doing just fine @1:21. Tell me that is not her doppelgänger!

I prefer "doppler"ganger, as named after the physicist, the name has a slapstick double-meaning to it, that I like... I assume using the Doppler Effect you can figure out how they work instead of the originals fashion...

Anyway, I'm glad I don't live in an area prone to sinkholes. Granted with the right scenario they can happen anywhere, I just don't like it when my natural environment is already trying to kill me--especially when we typically already have life to worry about and that is usually enough.

I wonder if that sinkhole they mentioned that devoured oil extracting equipment could have anything to do with the vacant hole caused by the vacant space where the oil used to be?

Hey Florida didn't you ever hear the song, "Don't build you house on a sandy land, don't build it too near the shore. Well, it may look kinda nice but you'll have to build it twice, yes, you'll have to build your house once more."
