Nope, we tested for it & we're o.k. (our slab is sealed and insulated). Plus we don't have a hermetically sealed house, which is where you have problems.

Wowser. Notice the various colors in the layers of sediment. Interesting.

So that's what happens when someone uses a Talisman of Pure Good against an evil priest. (stupid D&D reference).

An open question for geology majors:
Given the depth and size of the hole, and the (very low) value of the property surrounding the hole, what do you do next?
Do you just abandon the "circle" around it, hoping the sides stay "vertical" and don't continue to cave in? I don't realistically see a way to fill it in, given the economy down there.
Downtown FL or just about anywhere in the center of a US city, it'd be filled in, or secured safely.
But down there?

Thanks for posting those pics--they're truly mind boggling!
One question, though: where's the Heineken guy?

First think I could think of ;-)
Winter Park Sinkhole
I guess the first real question is whether or not it can actually be stabilized.
To: cogitator
So, when those Guatemalan buses (trucks?) fall in the hole, will they charge that $8.00 it takes to park in the LF sinkhole?

Police evacuated nearby homes and cordoned off a 500-yard perimeter around the crater. Security officials were on guard for possible looters and curious onlookers.Maybe someone needs to step off the distance to make sure, but if that's 500 yards, then it looks like I can hit a nine iron about 500 yards in Guatemala.
Not sure if anyone else pointed it out to you, that 500 yard figure is in terms of perimeter, or circumference, and not measured radially.

They say they can hear water moving. Make a real toilet out of it.

No, no.
Between that pothole, the latest Iceland volcano, and Al Gore?
