You need to get your facts straight. Your map is wrong, sinkhole was on McLawren not McAlpin. That's about 1.5 to 2 miles from the VA Hospital.


Here is a map from 2017 of reported sinkholes in the Villages. Zoom in and look for the yellow dots.

https://www.talkofthevillages.com/fo...-2017-0718-pdf


It shows 9 sinkholes north of 466, 15 sinkholes between 466 and 466A, and 3 sinkholes south of 466A. They happen all over the place and most likely your home is within 1 to 2 miles of where one has happened. Not that scary unless it happens next door.
