Default Sinkholes

Is anyone aware of any sinkholes/subsidence issues in or around The Villages? Also, who would be a good home insurance company to contact. Thanks to all.

This has to be the most realistic looking sinkhole I've ever seen! The Villages Florida

A while back I recall someone (I think here on TV) providing a link to a map that showed reported locations of sink holes. I've looked for that link since the OP and have not located it. My recolletion (IIRC) is that there were not many, but what there were were mostly, if not all, in the older North-Eastern portion of TV.
