Traffic in the area is being disrupted as crews work to fix the hole, which is 10 feet wide, according to WWJ-AM.

Is God trying to tell us something?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I hope so. We’ll know if that sinkhole swallows the entire city.

There's probably another dozen down in the hole, taking a coffee break.

If he is, we aren't listening.

There's a sinkhole in Russia that dwarfs this one, and IS ON FIRE. Has been on fire for over 40 years. It is even named THE DOOR TO HELL.

There’s been a sinkhole in Detroit for years, it’s called the “Lions”.
