Welcome to my neighborhood. My coins are packed and my dogs are ready for a mad dash if the police at the foot of my driveway tell us to evacuate. it is less than 100 yards from my property.

I will keep you posted

Oh no! So glad it was not under you like the news article said happened in 2013 to the other property.

Please do keep us posted. My prayers are with you.

What a thing to have hanging over your head. Well, under your feet I guess.

Great news Tryna!


Let's hope this is the last we hear of sinkholes there.

Hopefully you don't get that 'sinking' feeling.

Wow! Glad you're safe. I suspect this doesn't help property values in the area.

In Florida, sinkholes are to be expected over the long term (much like San Francisco would anticipate eventual earthquakes). The whole region is underlain by limestone, and solution sinkholes (or collapse sinkholes over solution cavities) are common. A geological phenomena owing to a very high water table and limestone bedrock.

Here is a map produced by the USGS:
