A monster sinkhole has formed in front of a house in Pasco County, Florida and nobody knows when it will stop growing.
It has already swallowed a car. What’s next? Will it engulf the home? In any cases, six families have been evacuated.
The cavity has opened up at around 10:45 a.m. at 1728 Torch St. in Holiday, Pasco County, Florida.
Watch on this Florida sinkhole map to understand why Florida is being eaten by large sinkholes!
As rescue arrived, the pit was only 4 feet wide and 4 feet deep. And the car in front of the house only had a tire on its edge. Within 15 minutes, the sinkhole had grown to 10 feet wide and 10 feet deep. And the entire vehicle had been engulfed by the cave-in. I said rapidly growing?
Five other homes near the depression have been evacuated until the ground has been declared stable. This makes six families needing a temporary shelter. The Red Cross helps them.
Since Pasco County is working on a sewer lift station near the property, I do believe we face a sinkhole here! However, officials are referring as a depression or a subsurface anomaly, until an engineer determines what it is exactly.
