I'm a Nuc so you'll have to bear with me here. Without going into what I do or where I am, I have a team of Civil and Geo Tech Engineers who gave me this opinion. With the type of structure we have in central Florida, a rapid rise or fall in the water table will expose weaknesses in the sub structure. Thus the holes. I couldn't understand the difference between this liquification and how they described what they thought was going on at the bottom of the pond that drained. It's something different. I didn't ask but I think they would agree with skyguy79 about how our property has been tested and survived. I feel sorry for the people who sustained damage.
