So what you are saying is natural curiosity regarding geological phenomenon is now taboo at Free Republic?

Interesting it is when the engine becomes the break.

Wanna bet that someone, somewhere in the Obama administration is preparing a new federal regulation that will make the poor SOB that owns the land have to fill it up..

I wonder what the property law on this is. Does he still own the land within the perimeter of the sinkhole, even though its elevation has been substantially reduced? Does he need a new survey/abstract, describing the property as “Southwest half of Northeast quarter of Lot 110 of Skidmark Township Plat 111 with giant gaping hole in middle”?

Good read, thanks! Glad to hear they’re planning additional studies! That’s the weirdest thing I’ve heard of... ;)

If you have title insurance, and the land disappears....do they pay off?

Yeah that was a bit more informative the article.

Hopefully they will get some modern equipment out there...

All those gawkers standing around the edge and climbing down in it are going to be in for a big surprise when it suddenly opens up more.

The 84 year old lady who owns it has been calling the Sheriff on trespassers. They have been making her families work life a living hell, to quote her.
