From what I've learned after living in FL for over a decade is there's no hard and fast rule. There might be cracking over a period of time in foundations, flooring, and walls, or it could just go caboom. I don't know what the circumstances of this case were.
Unfortunately, this is probably not an isolated event. Hernando county, which is dubbed the sinkhole capital of FL, has had whole neighborhoods wiped out. When you live in sinkhole alley, you must keep your sinkhole insurance coverage up to date. Number of residential sinkhole claims filed with Citizens Insurance in 2011: statewide 4024, Hernando County 1920.
