Sinkhole in Hillsborough County

sounds like a B movie.

Oh my gosh! That's horrible!! My prayers are for this man. I can not think of a more horrendous death than being swallowed up by a sinkhole in your own bedroom.
Except maybe waking up married to Mimi from the Drew Carey show.

Not sure how to prep for that. Imagine the nigtmares the surviving brother is going to have.

What can you do? I read in another article that an inspection was recently conducted of the property to obtain home owner's insurance. Signs of a sinkhole are something the inspector would likely have looked for since Florida state law requires that sinkhole damage is covered by insurance. I guess there weren't any obvious or imminent warning signs at that time.

Boy, what are the chances of a sinkhole opening up literally right under your bed, and collapsing so fast that you don't have time to get to safety? How awful.

Agreed,thats a truly unexpected occurrence.

Yeah, this is the kind of act of god it would be pretty hard to anticipate. So terrible.

I have a friend around Naples, FL (Collier County). He has a few acres, and about 300' from his house is a nice 30' diameter sinkhole and he didn't mow the lawn within 50'. This is more common down there than you'd think.
