Areas prone to collapse sinkholes

The map below shows areas of the United States where certain rock types that are susceptible to dissolution in water occur. In these areas the formation of underground cavities can form and catastrophic sinkholes can happen. These rock types are evaporites (salt, gypsum, and anhydrite) and carbonates (limestone and dolomite). Evaporite rocks underlie about 35 to 40 percent of the United States, though in many areas they are buried at great depths.

" toilets flush counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere."

Actually, the water moves the same way in both hemispheres. (You're just looking at it from the other side.)

There’s a hole in the world tonight
There’s a cloud of fear and sorrow
There’s a hole in the world tonight
Don’t let there be a hole in the world tomorrow

They say that anger is just love disappointed
They say that love is just a state of mind
But all this fighting over who is anointed
Oh, how can people be so blind?

There’s a hole in the world tonight
There’s a cloud of fear and sorrow
There’s a hole in the world tonight
Don’t let there be a hole in the world tomorrow

Oh, they tell me there’s a place over yonder
Cool water running through the burning sand
Until we learn to love one another
We will never reach the promised land

There’s a hole in the world tonight
There’s a cloud of fear and sorrow
There’s a hole in the world tonight
Don’t let there be a hole in the world tomorrow

(There’s a hole in the world tonight)
They say that anger is just love disappointed
(There’s a cloud of fear and sorrow)
They say that love is just a state of mind
(There’s a hole in the world tonight)
But all this fighting over who will be anointed
(Don’t let there be a hole in the world tomorrow)
Oh, how can people be so blind?

There’s a hole in the world tonight
Hole in the world
There’s a cloud of fear and sorrow
Fear and sorrow
There’s a hole in the world tonight
Don’t let there be a hole in the world tomorrow

They mention flood gates. Is the vortex near the dam intake? If so, its going downstream. Click bait.

That’s junk reporting there. The title and article are making a normal dam function sound like some kind of sink-hole natural disaster.

That whole article is a disgrace to journalism. (completely separate from the usual kind of political disgraces we are used to here.)

Few people remember when the US Navy captured the sea monster Charybdis in the 1950s.
