Iska River in Slovenia Vanished Overnight

The Iska River in Slovenia vanished overnight. Residents reported hearing loud crashing and drumming sounds during the night and woke up to find the river was gone. Fish were found flopping on the dry river bed. The river may have moved underground after a crack opened in the riverbed. However, no earthquake was reported. There is another video about the vanishing river

There was a whole lake that disappeared. But it was in the US and it was circa 1980.

It was Lake Peigneur in Louisiana. Eleven barges, and a 150 FOOT TALL drilling rig disappeared into a lake 10 FOOT deep.

Here is an informative video of it.

Has this happened there before?

Yes. It says so in the article.

23-acre body of water disappears in St. Louis suburb

"Some residents said they noticed that the lake, after being swelled by torrential rains weeks earlier, began falling last weekend. The Englishes said they noticed the drop-off Monday. By Wednesday, the manmade lake — normally seven to 10 feet deep in spots — had been reduced to a mucky, stinky mess. David Taylor, a geologist who inspected the lakebed Wednesday, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that the sinkhole was formed when water eroded the limestone deep underground and created pockets in the rock. The sinkhole was “like a ticking time bomb.”

How can a lake simply disappear?

A herd of fish? Fish know better than to say that. They’re smart because they travel in schools.

Vanishing lake baffles Russians

"But one elderly villager sitting outside her house had another kind of force in mind. "I thought the Americans had got here," she said, laughing."

In recent decades, the rate at which humans worldwide are pumping dry the vast underground stores of water that billions depend on has more than doubled

Well, we have been pumping a lot. But where's it gonna go? It can't leave the Earth without a spaceship. Most all of it returns to the ground. Some is broken up in to hydrogen and oxygen and the hydrogen escapes into space while much of the oxygen is turned into ozone. But the Earth is constantly pelted with ICE from space (and dirt/rocks). The balance goes in favor of more water and dirt added to the Earth each day. The Earth is, and has always been, growing in size. As more material is added to the 'outside', the inside 'expands'. This is what causes the so called 'continental drift'.

I think it is strange as we see a river in our Country swallowing lands and homes..

But water, and gravity, have done this act since the beginning of Earth.

A large tub with no drain will overflow, sooner or later.

There is a creek near my boyhood home that flows for several miles through the valleys of southern middle Tennessee then disappears into the ground and reappears a few hundred yards later.

Thanks. I was looking at the lake in Russia info, while going through this thread. And someone else has posted info on an Artic Lake that disappeared.

I find them all fascinating, and if you get time, the video on Lake Peigneur is very interesting because it involves a sinkhole caused by a drilling rig.

This is one of my most favorite geological disasters.

THE DOOR TO HELL - the site of a former natural gas drilling rig IN RUSSIA where the ground caved in and left a giant pit that has been burning from the escaping natural gas for the past TWENTY YEARS.

San Felipe Creek in Del Rio originates hundreds of miles away from Colorado and comes out at Del Rio, just a few miles North of the Rio Grande River.

Never heard Gore or any other AGW fanatic mention it.
