WOW!!! Nice Picture.

Somehow, I don't feel comfortable in this happening. :faint:

I understand the truck in the hole but wonder why the other one is leaning to the right?

jimbo2012 06-26-2012 03:07 PM

good observation......perhaps the rear end was pushed over somehow when the nose fell in.

Could be a tree came down on it and we can't see it. Looks like it's getting pressure from the top.

Looks like a wide angle lens was used -- the trees lined up beyond the truck are all leaning too. That would distort the image of the hole as well.

I saw several pictures on the news last night taken from different angles. The other truck is leaning to the right because a sink hole opened up under the back tire. There are two separate holes at that location.

There was also a very large sink hole that opened in Ocala at Fore Ranch off of hwy 200.

As I was reading through the thread, the same thought occurred to me. A second sink hole. :22yikes:

I also read the comments under the article... Pretty scary.

I honestly never thought about sinkholes before I bought in FL (completely missed the memo). Hurricanes, tornadoes and lightning strikes all crossed my thoughts, but I completely missed sinkholes....
