Sinkholes

Suddenly, the ground in Missouri has become untrustworthy especially in the St. Louis area as there are now 3 sinkholes that have appeared in different parts of the city.

A street in St. Louis has suddenly had a huge sinkhole appear in the middle of it.

One Missouri county has 89.5% of its land that is susceptible to collapsing.

If you'd like to look at this from a glass-half-full perspective, the sinkhole that swallowed the middle of a soccer field in Alton, Illinois recently is an overachiever as new drone video shows it continues to expand in size.

Imagine if this had happened in the middle of an actual soccer match. Video shows the moment when a soccer field suddenly had a sinkhole open up right in the middle of it.

If you've been in a part of Missouri where sinkholes are present, you know they're strange enough by themselves. One sinkhole in particular seems to have something else going on as there are reports of bizarre creature activity nearby.

You might want to be careful what the earth underneath you is doing if you're driving through Illinois today as a massive sinkhole suddenly opened up and even caused a highway to close.

I'm going to ask what I admit is a bit of a rhetorical question. Why did a huge sinkhole suddenly appear in the woods of Missouri? I have no idea, but I do have video proof that it happened.

I will confess that I only think about sinkholes when I see one appear and that's not frequently. There have been some that have been spotted in Missouri recently which led me on an investigation where I learned that the state is a dangerous sinkhole hotspot.

I'm afraid of heights. I'm also afraid of depths so I guess I have a dilemma. That's one of the reasons it freaks me out a little bit to know there's a sinkhole in Missouri that plunges 175 into the depths of the Earth. Yikes.
