Lots of rain can make this happen!

A sinkhole opened up in The Villages 5/21/18 - YouTube

Where is it?

I thought I posted this link to the live helicopter coverage by WESH News.

Calumet Grove area. Check the update video I just posted. This is in the exact same location as the last one. The house was already vacated.

It started on Sunday if you see the post I posted. Looks like Along the line of the repaired rotted out transfer tubes which failed in the retention pond.

Shhhhh! They're not sinkholes, they're just deep ground depressions. :lipsrsealed:

Isn’t this the same area that just had a water main break? If that is the case I would think the villages should take some responsibility..

I think your Right? Man made???

No, not the same area, the water main break was about mile and half away on Legacy lane.

Worrisome.

Yes, it is related to that tube. You can see it sticking up on the retention pond.

I don't know about that. But, about 100 yards from the hole you can see a large tube sticking up in the retention pond. One of the people on site think this might be the culprit.

It was reported today that engineers and district officials are saying "they are not" sinkholes but rather washouts. That made me wonder, is that a good thing or bad thing? for the homeowners with respect to an insurance claim.

Sinkhole insurance...versus flood insurance.

What's flooded? I might have missed that...
