I go by my real name on most forums although I have used Sentient Marine as a reference to the intelligence of whales and a range of other aquatic life. On the catholic forum I_like_Mike because I figured someone should like me even if it is only me in case it was bad news but not as a forum name. Although among the list of things I have been called I would be fairly sure that "Donut" is on that list and at least is not the worst I've been called.
The good news about sink holes is that there are quite a few of them indicating a natural phenomena in which ever capacity they occur.
The notable thing is the depth and the not too many of them aspect which is good. The fact that this is the second in a year, the last being in
Guatemala in 2007 although a broken sewerage line was attributed as the cause. It is the last on the page.
As a point of interest not all are natural, people have made some amazing excavations and my favorite is the blue hole called The Great Blue Hole, Belize. It has been there a very long time and is a popular dive site.
If anything finding these has been the best piece of news I have found in well over a year. Because it is in the US it will be studied in great detail and maybe a lot of useful info will come from it.
Right now I have something or nothing and I haven't a clue which but it must be good either way so I am off out to treat myself to something whether I deserve it or not, cheers
