Massive sinkhole opens up in Florida woman's backyard | Morning in America

WHY IS NO ONE SAYING WHY THIS HAPPENED?? Look into what they are building across the street from this ladies house! A 872 acre housing development called a Lagoon community is being built. To build it they need to pump 33 MILLION gallons of water out of the aquifer to fill their lagoon. Springhill already has a huge sinkhole issue because of how brittle and empty the aquifer is in the area. When this company removes 33 million gallons from an already short source of water these holes will show up more and more as the empty aquifer caves collapse. It's simple They should NOT be allowed to build that lagoon in a place that already has 40 lakes that are dried up. I've lived in hernando county for 43 years and it's sad to see how the nature coast has become like every other part of over built Florida.

I remember a story where a man was sleeping in his bedroom and a sinkhole opened up under him and was never found. His brother tried to dig him out but he was too far down and totally buried with his bed. Terrifying.

My hubby said one word. GREED. The developers, the builders, the permit people. They all knew.....

That house just got devalued by 90%

Yet another reason not to move to Florida 😮

I wouldn't stay in that house!!! I'd be scared to go to sleep in there!

House value went from $750K to $20K overnight.

Sinkholes are dangerous. There was once an incident where one morning neighbours woke up to find that their neighbour and her house had disappeared

Growing up in FL, many worried about sinkholes all the time watching the news, but that’s a massive and very frightening sink hole right there!

That looks like a portal to hell!

Sinkholes have always been a thing in Florida . The first I witnessed was in Casselberry in the early sixties that took 3 houses. Then the famous on in Winter Park in 1981 that took a house and several Porsches that had been parked at a repair shop . People were not hurt in those . The worst was one in 2013 where the guy was sleeping in his bed and it swallowed him , never to be seen again.

Someone's house was being built right on top of that thing. That's scary.

Forget her house, they were setting up the land where the sinkhole opened up to be a foundation for another home or building... They're just bringing in dirt, packing it and building. They should be doing some sort of survey for underground stability before starting foundations

Ouch, that is huge. Everyone stay safe, I remember that poor man that was sleeping when a sinkhole opened up under him.

What the Heck! You're right there and you didn't send a drone down the sinkhole to see what the bottom looks like?!👀

Thank God no one was hurt!

Looks like that lot had the framing to pour a slab. Good thing it happened now instead of after a house was built

Could you have a bigger banner? Blocks 25% of the video. It's not the 2000s anymore.

Why does he start with you don't expect this in your back yard? If you live in Florida, you can expect anything to happen in the back yard.

Ugh, I feel for that homeowner because they will never be able to sell their home for a good price.
