Police are still investigating what caused a 100-foot-wide sinkhole in that killed a man when the ground disappeared beneath his house.
The fear of looming danger is real and present all over the globe, and pictures of the terrifying holes that appear seemingly unannounced and leave a trail of bodies and damage in their wake.
Officially sink holes are caused by the dissolution of soluble bedrock and the frequency and likelihood of such changes occurring depends on a number of natural factors like the type of rock present and the weather conditions in the area.


The dangerous holes can range from three feet to 2,000 feet wide, appearing either to be just a pothole or effectively gobbling up multiple city blocks.
One of the hardest-hit areas, both lately and over the past few years



, has been Florida where much of the state is made up of more soluble foundations.
In lucky cases, the sinkholes appear in unpopulated areas like golf courses, but the truly harrowing times come when the fatal accidents happen near- or even under- homes.
One such case is that of Jeff Bush, 37, who is presumed dead after he was swallowed into the 50-foot-deep hole and trapped beneath the rubble at his family’s house in Brandon, near on Thursday night.

We heard a loud crash,’ the victim’s brother Jeremy Bush told as he broke down in tears. ‘I ran in there and heard somebody screaming, my brother screaming, and I ran in there.
‘And all I see is this big hole. All I see is the top of his bed. I didn’t see anything else, so I jumped in the hole and tried getting him out.
“The floor was still giving in and the dirt was still going down, but I didn’t care. I wanted to save my brother. I could hear him screaming for me, hollering for me. I couldn’t do nothing.’



i like the site and loved the article but you forgot the big one Louisiana.
Thank you!
Blessing’s
there is an excellent documentry on the sinkhole on my utube channel
This is God warning America
“This is what happens when a Nation rejects Him and turns their back on him” .
A Nation that has no foundation, cannot stand.
Our Foundations have been destroyed and the land mourns
and swallows it’s unrepentant inhabitants.
I appreciate your comment since nobody else online seems to want to acknowledge this truth! Where are the men of God who confess Jesus as Lord? Why are our people screaming out for justice when our nation is engaged in porn, violence and turns from JESUS and His word? I am kicked off blog because I will agree that “its all about our freedom and our right to have guns!”…….Will anybody seek JESUS before it is too late? He stands at the door and knocks. He is the only truth. He will bring you peace and joy and release from this carnal dying world.
Correction – I meant that, I am kicked off blogs because I will NOT agree that “its all about our freedom and our right to have guns!”…….Jesus said our righteousness is “as filthy rags” to Him. Only Jesus is righteous.
Thanks for this post- May Jesus bless all who seek Him. He loves us and He gave His life for anyone who will seek Him. He brings peace and joy and freedom from this dying sad world.
This is truly scary. Since most of Florida sticks out into the ocean, I can understand them having this problem.
