I'm no sinkhole guru, but I would think that if your property had the potential to have a sinkhole, that there's a good chance that it would have surfaced with the storms we just had. I'm interested in hearing what your thoughts are about this?

p.s. Please don't respond by telling me that I'm a joker short of a full deck. I already know that!
A valid question. But I don't feel any better or any worse. There is a lot of activity under the ground and you can never tell if these rains might have made a different underground tunnel or waterway that is branching off in a different direction.
