RE: Florida: What in the world is going on here!?

in #weather7 years ago

as usual you're the first place i hear about this, i had no idea there was such a problem in the states with that, in all my lifetime i have heard about it once

right in the middle of someone's living room while they were watching tv the table just dropped into a hole in the floor .. SCARY ! one meter off and it would have been them

i see there's plenty of speculation and promoted posts about it on the 1e100

looks like the big boys aren't spared either :

from what i understand its a place where rich people retire ?

not that i mean rich people deserve it (thats definitely not what i mean) just for being rich but it makes me wonder how many places where less fortunate live suffer from this and never make it to the news ... as usual my first though after "omg what about the pets ..."

looks like there's no foundation under the roads then ? but i suppose its somewhat hard to pour 10 meters of concrete under a whole town, even if the residents could probably afford it, given the number of golf players pro capita lol but i doubt any god could be bothered with something futile like pestering people with holes in the floor, then again, i'm neither an atheist nor a believer, i'm a polytheist agnostic

anything's possible until proven otherwise :)

The sinkholes are not just happening in the states, you can find more information about the ones in the states but they are happening all around the world. Actually the 1st sinkhole that grabbed our attention is in Africa. They have one that is so big it could split them into 2 parts... So there is a major concern. It seems no one is spared from this. "The Villages" is a place for the semi-rich to retire to. As you already know it is even happening at the White House so no place is "safe". Like you I thought about the pets as well. When sinkholes like these form and flooding (from the tropical storms) happen, the pets are the forgotten for most. I say most because there are people (like you, my partner and I) that would safe the animals 1st then the people. I am sure there are sinkholes in most 3rd world countries that we do not hear about and most likely never will unless the citizens of them countries are posting the information out there. To be honest I have no idea if there is any foundation under the roads but from the look of it I would say no. One thing I do know is this cannot be just a mere coincidence, something is happening. The questions is what.
