Florida sinkhole that swallowed man is back

Recommended Posts

That Florida sinkhole that swallowed that poor guy in Florida two years ago has reappeared. From the arial photos it looks huge. Can't imagine how people in the area must be feeling let alone the guy's family that he was living with when it happened. I bet that one lady's dog could sense the earth's movement in the backyard. Yikes. I know they are using ground sensing technology along the earthquake fault lines here in California and testing new warning systems and wonder if something like that could be helpful at all in Florida.

Here's a few new story links showing different photos of it, some with a bit more on the history, and also an video from the air:

Guess I never tagged a thread on a NOVA episode on sinkholes a while back as I don't see it listed below in related links but if you are interested in learning more about them, it was interesting video to watch: http://www.palmtalk.org/forum/index.php?/topic/44665-nova-sinkholes-episode/
