    There was a home in Mulberry, Fl that did this. The family woke to rafters cracking and bowing, they fled the house in their PJ’s and made it out. By 10 am the house was fully engulfed. The county filled in the hole and placed a playground on it, I’ve never seen a child out there. Sink holes in that part of Florida re very cooked the phosphate mines have been dogging the earth for about a hundred years. Nearly every home in Mulberry has cracks. I also remember the one in Valrico about 20 miles from Mulberry to the west close to Tampa. A man lost his life and this was unbelievable but it happened.

I lived by the ocean for years and loved it, but it was in the northwest of the US, and now I live in the country, in the mountains in the northwest inland and love the snow, quiet and serenity of a small town nearby, so I'll live it out the rest of my life here!

    To add another problem to the equation, in Florida, we have " Big Sugar" issues. They're seemingly untouchable. The runoff of the pesticides looks like black death, as it enters our waterways. Big Sugar refused to take accountability for the damages they are a major part of causing, such as Red Tide. Big Sugar likes to finger point, instead... "land development". Civial engineers wanted to make improvements to better waterway flow. Big Sugar said "No", and threatened with huge lawsuits. Lake Okachobee has already reached its peak of suffering from Big Sugar runoff. I'm beginning to feel like, after 54 years of being a Florida resident, the only fresh water that we can truly rely on will come from sink holes.
