Sinkhole Incidents On the Rise
"Stretch zones primarily experience sinking ground, as the support in the rock strata is stretched thin. Thus, buildings implode and gas and water mains break." ZetaTalk

What happens to rock layers under a diagonal pull, or being pulled apart? As can be seen during recent years, this has resulted in derailing trains, sinkholes suddenly appearing, gas and water main breaks, torn roadways and separating bridges. Despite the effect on man, crawling about on the surface of what they assume to be terra firma, these changes are superficial. When the pulling starts, weak points break and thereafter the plumbing and roadways hold, giving the impression that the pulling has stopped, but this is misleading. The North American continent is giving evidence that its rock layers are separating from each other, and sliding sideways in a diagonal, thus exposing portions of these layers to vent into the air above. If rock is being stressed, then where are the earthquake predictors giving evidence of this, the frantic animals, the static on the radio, the earthquake swarms? Rock in the stretch zone, pulling apart rather than compressing, does not emit the particles flows that animals and radios sense, nor register on instruments are tension and release quakes.

"We have repeatedly stated that the Earth changes will not diminish, but will increase going into the pole shift.
This is not a lineal matter, as the closer Planet X comes to Earth, an inevitable path, the more the torque effect and the polar wobble where the N Pole of Earth is pushed away violently on a daily basis, occur. The wobble will become more pronounced, more violent. The plates are tugged back West of the Atlantic, pulled forward East of the Atlantic, during the daily rotation of the Earth. The North American continent is allowed to roll East during rotation while the S Pole is pulled West, creating the diagonal pull likely to trigger the New Madrid fault line into an adjustment, and soon. The N Pole is pushed away and allowed to bounce back, daily, as the Earth rotates, a wobble that puts stress on all fault lines when the plates are suddenly in motion, and suddenly stopped!
"As there is no other explanation for the effect on the stretch zone, lacking any earthquakes to blame, and as these stretch zone accidents will continue to emerge, and with ferocity, this is a certain clue to those on the fence, that the influence of Planet X is the cause. Or is it Global Warming?"
ZetaTalk Chat Q&A for April 13, 2013
"Sinkholes almost invariably form in areas subject to karst limestone cavern formation. Underground water flows eat away the limestone leaving vast caverns and caves, which often give scant indication above ground that a cavern lies below. Karst limestone rock formations have been mapped and are known, however, but since one never knows just where a cavern might have formed, this provides little help in predicting just where a sinkhole might form. Sinkholes open up when the rock is fractured due to stress from being in the stretch zone, from the bending of a plate, or due to torsion."

Large Sinkhole Discovered in Fairfield Township - Ohio
Discovered July 2ndFAIRFIELD TWP., Ohio -- A Fairfield Township intersection was expected to be closed for several days after a water main break caused a large sink hole.
Workers for the Butler County Engineers Office closed the intersection of Hamilton Mason and Morris Roads late Saturday night.
Barriers and road closure signs were placed in the area to help drivers get around the closure.
Repairs to the road were expected to be made sometime this week.

@ Fernando - The presence of Planet X is causing the Earth's core to roil, heating the oceans and land from the bottom. While the oceans expand as the water temperature rises, the Earth's crust will also.
"What is missing from this equation is swelling of land masses, land surface under the water, as odd as this concept might sound. Metal is known to expand when heated, but the concept of hot mud being larger in volume than cold mud has not been considered, as it has never been a concern of man’s. Heat is particles in motion, and they bump atoms about so that expansion is the result. All land surface will be heated due to the swirling of the core, the heat to the extent that it can escape into the land surface doing so. The result? This surface will expand, crevasses opening, flaky layers of rock separating, and buckling occurring that creates spaces in the interior of rock. Under the oceans, this equates to a higher ocean bottom, with the water needing to go someplace, and as the bottom is moving up, the sea level can only go up also. Thus, where this cannot be computed by man, being a missing dynamic in his statistics, this is the explanation for why our 675 foot rise does not compute given the known factors - water volume and increase per degree of heat rise."

Massive Sinkhole Blocks Access to 40 Homes - Cincinnati, Ohio
Discovered June 21st
Crews are working to repair a sinkhole on Laurel View Drive in Union Township.
Service Director Matt Taylor said the hole was created after a 48-inch pipe broke during the rain Tuesday, June 21. The hole is 20 feet wide and 18 feet deep, he said.
The Union Township trustees passed four resolutions during the regular meeting Thursday, June 23. Trustee Tim Donnellon said the resolutions are for four separate things – declaring the situation an emergency and authorizing the township to pay for supplies, materials and equipment.
Each resolution is for an amount not to exceed $50,000, but it could cost more than that combined, Donnellon said. All together, the amount can be no more than $200,000.
“We believe the final cost will be around $50,000 for contracted service,” said Ken Geis, township administrator.
“We don’t know exactly what the cost will be … but the (resolutions) have been approved by the law director,” Donnellon said.
Construction crews already were working Thursday and a temporary road had been built for residents. Laurel View Drive is the only way to reach about 40 homes. The homes are off Tina Drive and Bells Lane, near Crosspointe Baptist Church.
Geis said the resolutions also eliminates the need to bid the work, since it’s an emergency.
Trustee Matt Beamer was glad to see the administration’s fast action.
“This needs to be fixed ASAP,” he said Thursday. “I was out there twice yesterday and it needs to be fixed for the safety of our residents – for driving and for police and fire.”
An estimate of how long the project would take was not immediately available.

ANOTHER Massive Sinkhole in Tarpon Springs - Florida
Discovered June 16th
TARPON SPRINGS — After the appearance of a 50-foot-deep sinkhole, S Disston Avenue and nearby Dorsett Park will remain closed because boring samples and ground-penetrating radar revealed "anomalies" underground that must be repaired or further studied.
The city called in a geotechnical engineering firm, Tierra Inc. of Tampa, last week after a sinkhole opened up in the street in front of 709 S Disston Ave. on June 16. Tierra also was asked to examine depressions in the soil at Dorsett Park that were noticed the following day.
The city filled in the Disston Avenue sinkhole, using 25 dump-truck-loads of sand. However, the street can't be reopened to traffic because of what Tierra found when it examined the area.
The company drilled in a 150- by 90-foot area, probing more than 50 feet below the roadway surface. The tests found several indicators that limestone below the ground had collapsed.
Sinkholes in Florida often are caused when limestone lying deep underground collapses and the soil above it funnels downward, leaving a crater on the surface.
Before the road will be safe for travel, the ground will need to be injected with a special grout that will increase the density of the soil and make it more resistant to collapse, Tierra wrote in a report to the city. Tierra estimates the work will cost roughly $35,000.
"We anticipate that the roadway will be closed for approximately one more week until these remediation efforts are complete and have been thoroughly inspected," Tarpon Springs spokeswoman Judy Staley said Friday.
The city doesn't know when popular Dorsett Park, about a block away from the Disston Avenue sinkhole, will reopen. A preliminary examination of the park by Tierra showed "subsurface anomalies," not just beneath the visible depressions there, but also in other parts of the park where there are no depressions.
Drilling and other tests will be done next week to get a better idea of what's happening beneath the surface at Dorsett Park, Staley said. In addition to several depressions, the city found cracks in the park's tennis court. The park is now off-limits to visitors.
Another property also was affected by the sinkhole activity on June 16. Several sinkholes opened in the yard of 709 S Disston Ave., where Nathaniel Crawford, 90, and his wife, Virginia, 83, had lived since 1957. The Crawfords and several relatives fled the house as the ground opened up.
The city has advised the Crawfords not to move back into their house yet.
The Crawfords had sinkhole insurance and are waiting for information from their insurance company about the cost and feasibility of repairs.

Sinkhole in South Dakota Claims Two Lives
Discovered June 22
video
Heavy rains triggered a sinkhole which swallowed two vehicles and ended up claiming two lives. Torrential rains led to high water near the highway and that water weakened the road, creating the sinkhole. Water poured over the road and two drivers attempted to cross the flooded roadway, not knowing that the ground beneath it had been washed out.
Steve Manger – Lyman County Sheriff: “This is the first time I've ever seen anything like this before its just amazing the force of mother nature it's just a sad, very sad deal.”
The 56 year old driver of the van was a Chamberlain woman, found dead inside her vehicle. The driver of the car was a 61 year old woman from Lower Brule. Her body was found four miles down stream.

Sinkhole Swallowing Building - Knoxville, Tennessee
Discovered June 22ndAn old building in New Tazewell is set to be demolished after a sinkhole opened up underneath it.
On Monday, officials noticed cracks forming on the side of the building on First Street.
It sits next to the city hall and houses some of the street department's equipment.
On Wednesday, ten-foot wide sinkhole opened up, leading to more cracks.
"If the sinkhole opens up anymore, it could definitely fall. So we're keeping everybody out. And there are still things inside, but I guess that will just have to stay," said Jerry Hooper, New Tazewell Building Inspector.
Officials have declared the 90-year-old building to be a safety hazard and they will tear it down as soon as they hear back from an insurance company.

Sinkholes Swallow Parking Lot - Cincinnati, Ohio
Discovered June 21st
videoThe sink holes that are swallowing up the parking lot at two Anderson Township businesses are growing larger, after heavy rains on Tuesday.
The problem began with a hole that first developed behind Adams Heating and Cooling back in April and spread to the neighboring business, Plants by Wolfangel. It quickly swallowed up equipment and asphalt. And yesterday, when new rains overflowed into the area, the pavement caved in even further and cut off the plant shop from the nursery, washing away roses and other valuable plants.
It's believed that beneath the holes is a damaged eight foot wide drain pipe. The owner of Adams Heating and Cooling wouldn't go on camera today but told Local 12 Reporter Angenette Levy that he has been working since the sinkhole appeared to fix the pipe.
Huge pumps, meanwhile, are trying to keep up with the water filling the holes.

Massive Sinkhole Collapses Busy Street - Cleveland, Ohio
Discovered June 20th
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The collapse of an aging underground water/sewer tunnel section is to blame for a yawning chasm that opened Monday on Carnegie Avenue east of downtown Cleveland.
A segment of the 84-year-old brick waterway beneath the busy street gave way, eroding the roadbed and eventually causing the asphalt surface to cave in. The result is a hole big enough to swallow an SUV, although the abyss didn't claim any drivers before workers cordoned it off. The cavity is in Carnegie's center turn-lane near E. 65th St.
James Owens, The Plain DealerOfficials are uncertain what caused the tunnel segment to crumble, but suspect it was age.
"With all the rain we're getting this spring, you could speculate the water and everything else caused some bricks to get loose," said Alan Seifullah, a spokesman for Cleveland Public Utilities. Such failures are "not that rare. It's the same with water main breaks. We have an aging system."
Engineers are still assessing the extent of damage to the stormwater/sanitary sewer using remote cameras, Seifullah said. The collapse of the three-foot-diameter tunnel segment likely will require its replacement with a concrete pipe. If workers find no additional problems, the repairs will take about one week, he said. Crews will have to refill the 16-foot-deep cavity and repair the road's surface.
Traffic is reduced to one lane in either direction while the work is underway.
While the culprit in this case was a defective pipeline, sinkholes can form from a variety of causes, both manmade and natural.
Water is often the mechanism, whether from a broken main, an underground aquifer or stormwater runoff. If subsurface rock is water-soluble - such as limestone, carbonates or salt beds - the flow gradually can hollow out a void. Until the cavity reaches a critical size, the surface above remains intact, giving little warning of collapse.

Giant Sinkhole in Clermont County, Ohio
Discovered June 21stCrews will spend several days repairing a sinkhole that opened up after Tuesday's heavy rain and storms.
The sinkhole is located in the Ashley Meadows neighborhood in Mount Carmel.
The hole started as only about 4 to 5 feet wide, but has grown to about 20 feet wide and about 8 to 10 feet deep on Wednesday morning.
The road is currently blocked, affecting about 40 homes that are located near the hole. Residents are having to drive in the grass to make it around.
Crews will first have to repair the storm drain and piping before the refill the hole and repave the road. It will take several days to fix.

City Park Closed Indefinitely Due to Sinkholes - Tarpon Springs, Florida
Discovered June 17th
videoTARPON SPRINGS, FLORIDA-- A popular city park in Tarpon Springs is shut down indefinitely after possible sinkhole activity was found in the ground.
On Friday night, people using Ed Dorsett Park reported feeling the ground move and very loud noises coming from the park.
Firefighters responding found several areas of sunken ground in the softball field's outfield, along with a number of new cracks in the tennis and basketball courts.
City officials and geological experts surveyed the area Saturday morning and decided to keep it closed until at least Monday.
The park is located just yards away from a home on Disston Avenue where two sinkholes opened up on Thursday.
"It was a little frightening. That's the closest I've ever lived to a sinkhole. We've been here two years and to see one that close and it all over the place like that, makes you nervous," said neighbor Mike Sawyer.
The park was surrounded by yellow caution tape on Saturday.
Police have also been driving up and down the streets around the park to make sure no one goes inside.
Disston Avenue is also the same street where a six foot deep sinkhole opened in April after flooding from heavy rains.
Before that, neighbor Gina Crocitto says she had never seen one in the 10 years she's lived in the area.
"There's just sinkholes opening up everywhere and they're huge!" she said, "it's really scary."
