Perhaps someone with "knowledge" of sinkholes can comment. All I know, and have read, a sinkhole can happen just about anywhere in Florida---especially Central Florida.





I agree with justjim.


What is the purpose of this? Sinkholes are random and do not occur any more here in The Villages than in surrounding areas.


Sinkholes make people frightened and so far there is no way to predict or protect people from where they will happen....much the same as hurricanes.
