Yes, that is correct.......it's slightly below Brooksville. Our uncle & aunt lived in Brooksville until they passed away; now their son owns the home.
Other cousins of both of us live in Spring Hill. Huge development close to Tampa Bay/St. Pete area. This one is NOT the first sinkhole. They are all over the area. I'm glad we did our research as we are getting too old for that type of "excitement".


I can't imagine anything like that happening on our street.
At least Vermont doesn't have catastrophic ground collapse.
The last time our state had roads wash away was when Hurricane Irene hit really bad up the middle of our state, up the spine of the Green Mountains, a few years ago. Actually, I think it was a tropical storm here. Very rare.
