This is a big concern of ours in moving here. Should it be or is it rare this ever happens in TV? I have seen some posting that it is almost impossible to get Sinkhole Coverage Ins. Realtors seem not to want to discuss it when we are in the area looking for homes and villages. Am I making too much out of this?

Gpirate, you did not say where you are living now. As others have stated, yes, Cental Florida has a possibility of sinkholes. Other parts of our country have earthquakes, tornados, hurricanes, flood, droughts, hail, and etc, etc. One of the greatest hazards in our country often goes unmentioned and there is no insurance to protect against it and it is a silent killer. That hazard is radon gas. We even pay ihigh prices to bring it into our homes in the form of granite countertops. Yes, granite counter tops are a stretch but many believe it is an issue. Oh, btw, you could be killed in an automobile if you drive. Your concers are legitimate but it's all relative.
