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."

Huge North Londonderry Township (Pennsylvania) sinkhole stymies local, state, federal officials
Nobody knows what to do about a huge sinkhole that opened in North Londonderry Township following Tropical Storm Lee (Monica von Dobeneck)Byon May 10, 2013 at 10:20 AM, updated May 10, 2013 at 10:21 AMBeth Steffan was terrified the night Tropical Storm Lee let loose its deluge on her North Londonderry Township home in 2011.
She watched from her window as her yard disappeared into a sinkhole, just feet from her house. She listened as her home cracked and creaked and tilted toward the gaping hole in what was once a storm water retention pond.
Her husband Brad eventually made it home from Hershey through the flood waters, and they made their escape. But it was two months before their home was deemed safe enough to enter so they could retrieve their belongings.
Every wall in the home belonging to Brad and Beth Steffan has cracksThe house will be torn down soon, too damaged to repair, but the sinkhole remains, and no one knows what to do about it.
The Steffans are not the only ones who are worried. So are their neighbors in their Windsor Crossing development.
The damage is spreading, and neighbors worry about their property values. A home next to the Steffans on Pajabon Drive, owned by Joann Grimm, has already been torn down. Sinkholes are creeping under the fence of property belonging to neighbor Gerald Dougherty.
Neighbors approached Lebanon County Commissioners in April to ask for help. Commissioners said they would contact state and federal officials to see if anything can be done, then convene another meeting.
View full sizeThe retention pond was on private property, but drained storm water from the whole Windsor Crossing developmentThey held that meeting Wednesday. North Londonderry Twp. supervisors, state representative Mauree Gingrich, and representatives of state senator Mike Folmer and U.S. Representative Charlie Dent were there.
Commissioner William Ames opened up the meeting by telling the audience what they had learned: Nothing.
“I have heard nothing new and refreshing,” he said. “There are no new discoveries or anything.”
The government officials said there is nothing they can do to help because the retention pond is on private property, and is therefore the responsibility of the property owner.
“We have hundreds of sinkholes in Lebanon County,” commissioner Jo Ellen Litz said. “If every tax payer asked for help for sinkholes, it would bankrupt the county.”
Although the pond is on the Steffans' property, it drained storm water from all 35 homes in Windsor Crossing and the streets.
Brad Steffan said he knew when he bought the property that he would be responsible for maintaining the retention pond. He thought that meant mowing the grass, not spending a quarter million dollars to repair it. He had already repaired smaller sinkholes from earlier rains at his own expense.
“A retention pond is built to accept the water of the township,” he said. “I unknowingly bought into this. Now I'm caught in this, the neighborhood is caught in this. We're looking to our government to help us.”
Steffan said his insurance company paid to build them another home elsewhere, but would not cover damage to the yard. FEMA, which provided money for flood damaged homes after Lee, would also not cover the sinkhole, he said.
Keith Kilgore, solicitor for North Londonderry Twp., suggested forming a homeowners' association and getting everyone to pitch in to repair the sinkhole, and then take over ownership of the property.
Steffan said it could be a hard sell to convince residents farther from the sinkhole to pay thousands of dollars each when there is no guarantee the fix would last.
Loli Thomsen, whose property abuts the Steffans', asked why the development and its storm water management system were approved by the township and county to begin with. She pushed the officials again and again for help.
County officials said the plans met code when they were approved in 2002, so they could not legally reject them. Regulations have become more stringent since, they said.
Litz said the pond was developed for a 100 year flood, but Lee was considered a 500 year flood. It was “an act of God” and not government's responsibility, she said.
She said maybe the state should pass new legislation so this doesn't happen in the future, maybe by making sure the developer or a homeowners association maintains ownership of storm water retention ponds.

Sinkholes are causing a big headache for Hernando County leaders (Florida)
A report Hernando County’s property appraiser put together for county commissioners is full of some sobering information about sinkholes.
By Ferdinand Zogbaum, Reporter
Last Updated: Friday, May 10, 2013, 9:15 AMHERNANDO COUNTY --
Sinkholes are causing a big headache for Hernando County homeowners and officials.
A report Hernando County’s property appraiser put together for county commissioners is full of some sobering information about sinkholes.
County leaders like it when sinkhole damage to a home is fixed, but according to the property appraiser, many damaged homes are not getting fixed. That’s costing the county a lot of tax money because the values of the houses are cut in half.
Commissioner Dave Russell says it comes out to about $1 million of tax revenue lost a year.
“Everything is on the table at this time," Russell said. "We can’t just throw our hands up, roll over and except what’s happening. We need action.”
A few ideas are being tossed around like contacting FEMA to see if some relief is available, checking in with other counties to see how they’re dealing with the problem and sending letters to homeowners.
County leaders say they are going to keep things legal but they need to do something to fix the problem.
According to Hernando’s property appraiser there are 6,106 homes in the county with confirmed sinkhole activity. Only 2,726 have been fixed.

TAYLORSVILLE, Utah — A sinkhole that opened in a road in Taylorsville could cause water service disruptions in the area, and it will close nearby roads until at least Monday.
The sinkhole opened near 5400 South and 3200 West after an old metal pipe connecting drainage lines under the road collapsed.
The hole is about 6 feet wide on the surface, but under the asphalt it’s about 20 feet deep.
All northbound and southbound lanes on 3200 West and 5400 South in the area will be closed until at least Monday. Residents can expect disruptions to their water service as crews work to repair pipes and refill the sinkhole.
Taylorsville City Spokeswoman Aimee Newton said they are working to solve the problem as quickly as possible.
“Taylorsville city officials are doing everything they can to assist UDOT in taking care of this,” she said. “We have our emergency personnel out here to make sure that the traffic flow isn’t hampered too greatly, and [they’re] doing a great job on trying to keep things moving.”

Roadway Sinkhole Swallows 2 Cars in Vermont (Apr 20)
A Vermont family are lucky to be alive after a massive sinkhole opened up in the middle of a mountain road swallowing their two cars.
Their two vehicles fell 5 feet straight down, but the Richardsons managed to climb out to safety just before the ground gave way and their cars sank another 20 feet.
Once the parents and their son were back on solid ground, water, rocks and dirt showered down on their stranded vehicles and the sinkhole deepened.
The woman did not see the washout because it was dark and raining at the time, and drove into the abyss that opened in the middle of the roadway.
Her husband also did not see the chasm and followed his wife, but the quick-thinking motorist managed to turn the wheel just in time so his car would not land on top of his wife's, which likely ended up saving the lives of Angel and Alex Richardson.
Family friend Ryan Sargent saw the Richardsons later in the day and said they escaped with little more than some bumps, bruises and a broken arm.

Sinkhole In Quebec City Forces Evacuation
CBC | Posted: 04/12/2013 10:50 am EDT | Updated: 04/12/2013 9:46 pm EDT
People who live in and near two Quebec City buildings evacuated Thursday after a sinkhole appeared in a nearby parking lot say they've noticed problems with the ground in their neighbourhood for years.
More than 30 people were forced out of their apartments in the Beauport area after a two-metre-wide sinkhole opened up in a rear parking lot on Brideau Street earlier this week.
The Red Cross was on hand to help residents relocate temporarily.
Network of underground caves
The buildings affected are located in an area known as the "Courville Caves," where there is a known network of natural underground caves caused by the flow of the Montmorency River. Unstable ground has been a problem in the past.
A resident spotted the hole Wednesday and alerted the authorities.
"I called the city. I thought it was unusual," Mickaël Poulin-Giguère told Radio-Canada.
Two weeks earlier, Poulin-Giguère said he alerted the city after he became increasingly concerned about widening cracks that started to appear on walls and doorways of his building.
"The doors hardly open, and there are cracks in the walls and Gyproc," he said.
Another resident said she was frightened by the shaking she felt in her building on Sunday and Monday.
André Robitaille, who owns the building next door to the two that were evacuated, said he is constantly patching up cracks in the walls and foundation.
"We repair them all the time, because we assume that one day it is going to stop," Robitaille said. Six years ago, Robitaille invested over $100,000 to fill holes under his building's foundations with concrete.
"They were as big as — you can probably put a small car in it," he said.
Robitaille says he has called city officials more than once to tell them there is a problem with the ground.
City engineers were on site Friday to inspect the sinkhole. Robitaille said he's disappointed it took the sinkhole's appearance to get them to act.
The city did not expect to do any rehabilitation work over the weekend. Meanwhile, the stranded residents were to meet Friday evening to decide their next move.

Wisconsin Man Swallowed by Sinkhole (Apr 9)
MANITOWOC - Rescue personnel responded to a report of a man, later identified as John Strauss, in a sinkhole 1514 N. Rapids Road just after 4 p.m. Tuesday, according to a scanner report.
A female caller stated she tried reaching the man with a ladder but was unable to do so, the dispatcher said.
When responders arrived, the man was lying on his back in a 10-foot deep hole, but was conscious.
The hole, approximately 3-feet in diameter, was not there this morning according to Strauss' wife, Bonnie. "He seems to be OK; they're checking him over to see if he's OK," she said.
Officials said extra equipment will be needed to extract the man because of the soft, wet ground, according to the scanner.
The man was retrieved from the hole shorty after personnel arrived, reports indicated.

Giant Sinkhole Swallows Homes in Russia (Apr 10)
A sinkhole measuring nearly 85 meters wide and 15 meters deep engulfed three houses in a town outside Russia’s fifth-largest city Nizhny Novgorod as some residents of the small village were slumbering.
One of the houses in the town of Buturlino was completely demolshed. Residents managed to escape the building a few minutes before it literally collapsed like a house of cards on Wednesday night.
“I just barely left the house as everything around started to collapse,” Aleksey Ionychev told Russia’s Channel One.
“I looked and saw a poplar, 15 to 20 meters high, went under the ground and straight away I heard loud sounds of water running, like a waterfall, and then saw a 10 meters crater,” the man said. “It’s good that we are alive, but the house was new and everything we had, so to say, we lost. The house was not insured and of course no one cares about it.”
Initial reports suggested people were injured in the incident. However, it was later confirmed that no one sustained traumatic harm. “Information about dead and injured that appeared in media is not true,” the head of the local administration Nikolay Chichkov told Rossyiskaya Gazeta.
Thirty-three residents of nearby areas have been immediately evacuated. There were no people in one of the collapsed buildings, while the third damaged building was used for grain storage.
According to Chichkov, the sinkhole not only demolished the three buildings, but also caused ruptures in electricity and gas utility lines. By the afternoon, gas utilities and power had been restored. The sinkhole remains cordoned off by emergency services.
