Default sinkholes

In our village we had a 7ft. diam. 6ft deep hole appear overnight in the driving portion of a street. As I passed by in the morning I said to the crew "Wow a sinkhole". Their reply was "in TV we don't have sinkholes, we have depressions". That day it was filled with sand, and about 2 weeks later refilled, small depression, then blacktopped. When we bought our house, there were small cracks which were filled, and I am thinking it is only minor settlement, standard of a 6 yr. old house. Sure hope so. WE do have sinkhole insurance.
