Actually, if memory serves, there have been at least a couple of sinkholes in Florida; maybe many more. I think there was one man who died when he was sleeping when his house fell into the ground.
So much development on what is basically swampland.
The media will call it a sinkhole even when dirt and gravel wash away under a road, and a huge pothole forms suddenly.
Florida has a problem with real, geological sinkholes. Much of the state has carbonate rocks (WITH NATURALLY OCCURING, RADIOACTIVE PHOSPHATE!!! OH NO!!!! WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!!!!) that are slightly soluble in water, so they erode “from the inside out.”
About 2 years ago that sinkhole killed the man sleeping...
