Philippines: Land cracks alarm residents in Sierra-Bullones,Bohol.
March 7, 2011
The continued land movement causing huge cracks in a barangay in this municipality alarmed residents as authorities advised them to evacuate to safer grounds especially during uninterrupted rains.Engr. Edgar Uporto from the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) regional offices based in Cebu said the earth movement is caused by a constant flow of water under the ground which can be minimized if the flow of water can be diverted to a more stable area. However, he declared that if this can not be done, residents should decide to leave the area. The MGB official said the other possibility causing the land movement is of sink holes caused by limestone's mixture with water over a span of time. He advised the authorities to immediately send formal communication with the MGB so that a team of geologists will be sent to the area to ascertain the reason behind the situation.

Do you remember the HUGE hole in Guatemala City last year, after the volcano erupted? Whole buildings and very deep, not even been able to see them. Like a black hole!! http://www.theage.com.au/photogallery/world/giant-sinkhole-swallows...
My partner and I were stuck in a bus for days right in the middle of Agata storm. Could not go through that bridge (that shows in the one of the pictures) it was gone by the time we got there, so we had to go to Guatemala City just before the eruption and a day after the hole sunk. Quite an adventure!
It is happening more and more.
Does anyone know if it is going to be any worse in Hawaii?? I have not found much information on Hawaii of places to be or not to be... that is the question... lol...

Khan: A follow-up with your posting, there were already some indications of cracks days earlier in the towns of Tubigon and Jagna before this event. Tubigon is in the northwest while Jagna in the opposite. Sierra Bullones is almost between them. Is it starting to sink?

Bohol has 3 faults within and around it. Since cracks were observed in the northwest, central and southeast, does this mean that all 3 faults are in motion?
