Thanks Angie & TwotoGo for posting those articles.

Reading about the coal mine sink holes lead me to Google info about Georgia because the northern part of the state was very heavily mined for gold at one time. They are indeed having recent sink hole activity around those areas due to the lack of ground water. Luckily, my house is just south of there. It was interesting to read about how there are problems showing up wherever any type of mining (and I would have to assume drilling) has occurred. Seems obvious in retrospect, but who (lay people) thinks about these things?

Sorry to wander of topic and I know that this doesn't help the FL issues any but I found it all very interesting.
