A 60-foot-wide sinkhole formed under a resort in central Florida late Sunday, forcing guests out of their rooms as one three-story building collapsed and another slowly sank.
Guests at the Summer Bay Resort in Clermont, about 10 minutes from Walt Disney World, called for help before the collapse, saying they heard loud noises and windows cracking. All guests inside the buildings -- an estimated 35 people, authorities said -- were evacuated before the first structure crumbled.
A roughly 15-foot-deep crater swallowed much of one building, Lake County Fire Rescue Battalion Chief Tony Cuellar said. Aerial video from CNN affiliate WFTV showed one end of the building -- which had held two-bedroom, two-bathroom villas -- still standing, but the rest reduced to a pile of debris.

Agree, the fruits and veggies this year have been extra sweet, with jumbo blueberries. Banana production is in high gear in the back yard. Very pleased to say we planted a Florida peach tree last year, and the first crop was delightful this Spring.
Don’t forget 9 months of boating per year and year round fishing. Plus Busch Gardens 30 min.s and Orlando 90 min.s away. I have 2 pairs of pants and about 40 shorts, polos and golf shirts. It’s real nice reading about freezing weather when I’m in shorts with the windows open. But yeah, sinkholes and a corrupt state bureaucracy suck.

Yes, I am happy that no one was injured... it would be nice for things of a Biblical nature to be seen as a warning to those that would mock GOD. I do not want anyone hurt but that is not going to stop what GOD’s plans are and HIS word as written.
I had no idea that Disney banned anything dealing with homosexuals... except maybe public sex?
nice
