In May 1981, during a period of record-low water levels in Florida's limestone aquifer, a massive sinkhole opened up near the corner of Denning Drive and Fairbanks Avenue. In a single day the hole widened to 320 feet (98 m) and to a depth of 90 feet (27 m), destroying an import car dealership, a public pool, and large portions of Denning Drive. In addition, the sinkhole "ate" an entire two-story home. The deepest part of the limestone cavern must have been directly under the house as not even the peak of its roof could be seen after the sinkhole stabilized. Fortunately, no one was in the house at the time the cavern roof collapsed. City engineers managed to stabilize the sinkhole, which drew national attention and became a popular tourist attraction during the summer of 1981. A carnival-like atmosphere arose around the area, with vendors selling food, balloons, and t-shirts to visitors. Eventually the novelty wore off as the city repaired the damage and turned the sinkhole into man-made Lake.. Winter Park Fl Sinkhole…

Who would figure being inside your secured home, with the alarm set to high alert, kids sleep, you and wife/hubby cuddled having a sensual moment in front of warm fire only to have the earth literally open up and swallow your blood, sweat, tears, and the family you fight so hard to protect and feed. Goes to show, this earth is not for us to fight over, but for us to enjoy this short time we are here. Be Blessed people. While one may fight daily occurrences, there are still elements within this universe us as people just cannot avoid. live.life.love.life. Funny the things we worry about on a daily basis.

Your article is very interesting. I liked this post. This blog post is wonderful! I have to say that after continually reading terrible as in, same old material, little quality content, etc. article posts on other sites, it's nice to actually read something that has some thought put into it. It's a pleasure to read well written content, especially after continually seeing rehashed crap that writers and bloggers are throwing out nowadays. It's always nice when I come across content that actually has value, I've been seeing a ton of subpar writing attempts recently. Anyhow, thanks again and I'll check back frequently to see what else you have to offer. I'll check back in the future to see what else you have up your sleeve. Keep up the high-quality work! BTW, I like your site design, but your header image was only loading half way for me. P.S. Your header is messed up a bit in IE. The problem could be on my end but I thought you might want to look into that. Extremely interesting blog post. Your article is very interesting. I liked this post. This blog post is wonderful!
