Earth Changes and the Pole Shift
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."

Massive sinkhole opens up a SECOND time and swallows a car as the dangerous pit continues to wreak havoc on a busy road
Daily Mail Australia
Published: 22:16 EDT, 10 April 2018 | Updated: 05:22 EDT, 11 April 2018
A large sink hole has caused havoc for commuters on a busy road after it opened up for the second time.
Images of the sinkhole, caused by a burst water main, shows a white car stuck in the large crack.
The concrete around the car is darker than the rest of the street after council workers refilled the hole when the water main burst last week.
A sinkhole that opened up on a Cairns street has swallowed a car and has appeared to damage the bumper of the vehicle
The front two wheels of the vehicle appear to be caught in the sinkhole on Sheridan Street while the rear two are safe on solid ground
The bumper of the car appears to be coming off of the vehicle.
It was towed from the site and the Queensland Ambulance Service was called to the scene, according to ABC.
They said the patient was not seriously injured and declined to be taken to hospital.
A Cairns Regional Council spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia: 'A water main burst occurred at this location in the early hours of Saturday morning.
'The area around the water main was excavated, the main was isolated to prevent any further water from leaking, and the hole backfilled and compacted
'A temporary road seal was then placed over the excavated area. It appears that the compaction was not completely effective and a new void opened up under the road seal.
'The area was fully excavated again yesterday evening, refilled and compacted. A new road seal is being applied this morning and the road should be ready for use by this afternoon.
'Council is assisting the driver of the vehicle that was damaged in the road collapse.'
The sinkhole formed in the northbound lane.
Queensland Traffic has advised to make extra time for travel around the Sheridan Street and Rutherford Street intersection.

Brazil: Large sinkhole in Miranda do Norte and Arari.
Apr 10, 2018
A stretch of the BR-135 between Dom Pedro and President Dutra broke out on Tuesday morning after heavy rains fell in the region.
The information was confirmed by the Federal Highway Police and the National Department of Transportation Infrastructure (DNIT).
In addition to this highway, last Tuesday (03), the volume of waters in the streams and lakes near the town of Bubasa, located between Miranda do Norte and Arari, increased considerably and began to worry those who travel on that section of highway BR 222. A strength of the waters began to erode in the stretch that collapsed a few years ago. If the volume of rain remains, the asphalt is at risk of collapsing.
The same stretch broke in February 2017. With heavy rain, part of the BR-222 caved and a large crater formed along the highway.

Sinkhole On Private Land Causes Concern
Apr 16, 2018
For the second time in as many weeks a North Central Florida property owner is asking for help that county workers say they legally can't give....
This time, a large sinkhole has one rural family looking for a solution.
These are the County's reaction to situations like these happening on private property.
The affected landowner is Carolyn reams who said "The information I got was we can't help you and thats what wasn't acceptable to me."
It started with what Carolyn described as a blooping and thumping sound, before her husband noticed a massive sinkhole in their yard right behind their garage.
Tv20's Landon Harrar reported "Carolyn Reams tells me this was a big sinkhole, roughly 20-30 feet wide and if you look behind me at that light pole, well thats a good judge for how deep it was, about 50 feet."

Italy: Only during this year around 44 erosion pits have been opened in the city of Rome.
Apr 16, 2018
Asphalts of the Italian capital are made of a new pit every two or three days. They normally have the dimensions of a room, a few feet wide and a few feet deep. But in February of this year, these pits sucked six cars in the underground canals after they disappeared 50 meters from the Livio Androniko street, causing some buildings to evacuate.
This is not a new phenomenon. Since 2010, Roma have had 90 such pits per year. In 2013, there were 104. 2018 seems to pass that record. It is clear that the problem is escalating: the roads are starting to look like "Emental" cheese, while every man in Italy is wondering why the earth, as the Jewish prophet Jesse says, "is rolling like a drunken man."

Live updates as major Welsh road remains closed after sinkholes appear in carriageway
A sinkhole opened up in the A40 in West Wales forcing the closure of the road
Updated17:24, 19 APR 2018
A major road in West Wales remains closed this morning after a sinkhole appeared in the ground.
The A40 near Llandovery in Carmarthenshire was closed in both directions at around 6pm on Wednesday after the large hole appeared on the eastbound side of the road, between Heol Rhos and the A482 at Llanwrda.
Police have been on the scene and for the safety of road users have closed the road in both directions.
The sinkhole is near Blaenos Nursing Home on the way in to Llandovery.
Diversions are currently in place and traffic is expected to be affected throughout the morning.
This particular stretch of the A40 is major arterial road that connects West Wales with North Wales.
It is not yet known how long the road will be closed.
Key Events
Part of road to remain closed over the weekend
A section of the A40 will remain closed over the weekend as contractors will be working at the site to begin emergency repairs.
A spokeswoman from Welsh Government has also explained the cause of the sinkhole.
“A leaking water culvert has washed away material surrounding it, causing the road immediately above the leak to collapse,” she said.
“A section of the A40 near Llangadog/Llandovery will be closed over the weekend, with diversions in place, and the Trunk Road Agent’s Contractors will be on site next week to begin emergency repairs to the culvert and the road surface.”

Large sinkhole causes total closure of State Road 156
A major road in and out of Vevay and parts of Switzerland County was closed for nearly 24 hours late last week after a large sinkhole appeared.
A major road in and out of Vevay and parts of Switzerland County was closed for nearly 24 hours late last week after a large sinkhole appeared.
At approximately 10:15 p.m. last Thursday night Switzerland County dispatch began to receive numerous calls reporting a large hole in State Road 156 on the west side of the bridge over Plum Creek. Indiana State Police officer Ned Dayadharum was the first to arrive at the scene, and secured the area for traffic safety. He was soon joined by officers from the Switzerland County Sheriff’s office and members of the Jefferson-Craig Fire Department. Those workers assessed the situation while workers from the Indiana Department of Transportation’s Aurora Subdistrict came to the area.
State Road 156 is the major roadway leading from Vevay to the Markland Dam, and is used by many residents who work on the Kentucky side of the Ohio River; as well as commercial truck traffic coming from and going to the industries in Kentucky. It is also a vital roadway for student and school bus traffic going to Switzerland County Schools.
Chris See of the Jeff-Craig Fire Department said that the hole measured roughly 10-feet by 10-feet, and was about 20-feet deep. Luckily, the hole was not on the bridge itself, but on the edge of the roadway leading to the bridge.
“With all of the flooding that we’ve had in the area, the floodwaters had eroded the dirt and fill away,” See said. “From the amount of dirt that has been taken away, it’s probably been happening (the erosion) since late February or early March. With all of the traffic that the road gets, we’re lucky that it didn’t collapse while someone was driving over it.”
Workers and officials from INDOT arrived at the area late on Thursday night, and after looking over the damage, estimated that they could have the roadway back open to traffic sometime on Friday.
Harry Maginity, Media Relations Director for the Indiana Department of Transportation’s Seymour District, said that maintenance workers from INDOT worked all day on Friday to fix the problem.
“It was about a 13’x9’ hole, and it was just in advance of the bridge itself,” Maginity said. “The bridge is an old arch bridge over Plum Creek. It didn’t really affect the structural integrity of the bridge. Those bridges are usually really, really solid, unless something were to happen to the span walls.”
Maginity said that the damage occurred right up to the facing of the bridge, and was a washout caused by the flooding.
“They used different materials, then topped it with stone after they got it filled up, and then they did asphalt over the top of it to put pavement down for the road,” he said. “They got the road open about 11 p.m. on Friday night.”
Maginity said that the charge of INDOT was to make sure the bridge was safe and to restore traffic to the roadway, and that was accomplished in approximately 24 hours after the issue was reported.
“A lot of times you will have a bridge approach, which is a slab going into the bridge, well this is not the type of bridge that had that type of approach,” Maginity said. “It was pavement right up to it, and then of course it was paved over the bridge. So it was the road that really washed out.”
Maginity saluted the INDOT workers from the Aurora Subdistrict who worked long hours to get the road open again.
The work done on the area stabilized the roadway, and was not merely a temporary patch that will be worked on at a later date.
“You’re asking, one, is it permanent?”, Maginity answered. “Well, I don’t think we see a whole lot of permanence, anyplace. When you’ve got this kind of weather that we’ve had. I think that as far as filling the hole and using the different materials that they put down, I think that was a good fix. As far as, is the pavement on top, is that a permanent fix, or will they come back and mill it? I’m not over there. I’m not looking at it. Our goal was to get the road back open and make sure that the conditions are safe.”
Maginity said that the maintenance director of INDOT said that they anticipate that the fill that was put into the hole will sink as it settles, so workers at INDOT will come back to the area after the fill settles and put more fill in; and will also do scour protection at the bridge.
Bridge scour is the removal of sediment such as sand and gravel from around bridge abutments or piers. Scour, caused by swiftly moving water, can scoop out scour holes, compromising the integrity of a structure.
“The bridge is in good shape, it’s not a problem with the bridge,” Maginity said. “But we will do some scour protection. We anticipate that the fill we put in is going to settle and we’ll have to come back for that. And, of course, at that point, we’ll be needing more asphalt there, so we’ll put more asphalt. This summer, you’ll probably see us back at that bridge.”

Parking lot collapses
Posted Friday, April 20, 2018
An area of Broad Street will be closed off Friday following an accident where a dump truck fell into a hole after a ground collapse.
"We expect Broad Street to be closed between Washington Avenue and Womack Avenue for an undetermined amount of time to bring in a crane service to remove the truck," the Cookeville Police Department said in a statement on Facebook.
The dump truck belongs to Cumberland Waste Disposal of Cumberland County.
The driver was uninjured, but the identity of the driver was not known Friday morning.
The collapse happened Friday morning across the street from Bobby Q's on East Broad Street in the Liberty Square parking lot.
Initially the collapse appeared to be a sinkhole. But the discovery of metal beams and concrete underground leads most to believe otherwise.
"It’s not a sinkhole, and the cause of this incident is undetermined at this time," Cookeville Mayor Ricky Shelton said in a post on Facebook.
Property Assessor Steve Pierce said the owner of the property is Olympic Investment Group.

Logan County family finds hole in farm field 40 feet deep.
May 7, 2018
A Logan County family made an interesting discovery in one of their farm fields this past week in preparation for planting.
15-year-old Lucas Yoesting was riding his dirt bike on his family’s rural-Zanesfield property when he noticed a large hole in one of the fields.
Further inspection later in the week by Sunny and Tracy Yoesting found the hole to be much more than collapsed field tile. It had grown in size and by Wednesday, measured approximately 12 feet in diameter and is now noted as 40-50 feet in depth.
“It goes straight down,” said Sunny Yoesting. “You can see and hear the water below running. We were pretty alarmed.”
The Yoestings turned to social media for help after local authorities didn’t have experience on the matter. They have so far found assistance in the Logan County Engineer’s Office, who measured the sinkhole.

Tunnel Collapses in Arkansas Tourist Town

EUREKA SPRINGS, Ark. (AP) — A tunnel has collapsed underneath a parking lot in a popular tourist town in the Arkansas Ozarks.
The hole in Eureka Springs was about 20 feet (6.1 meters) deep as of Wednesday, after workers removed the asphalt "crust" covering the sinkhole, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported.
"I know (bystanders are) curious, but we have to protect them from themselves," said John Cross, who owns the parking lot. "One of our concerns is someone was going to get over there on the crust of this thing, and it was just going to give way."
Sinkholes are fairly common along the major street the parking lot sits on. The street runs along the eastern branch of Leatherwood Creek, which flows for about 1,500 feet (457 meters) through a tunnel underneath buildings and parking lots.
"It's a storm sewer collapse," Cross said. "Our storm sewer in Eureka Springs is creaky. Some of it is good, but most of it is not."
There have been five tunnel excavation and repair projects along the street in the past decade, said Dwayne Allen, the city's public works director.
"Please note Eureka Springs is still safe to visit, and we have not lost any lives or vehicles," he said.
Allen said something like a reinforced concrete box should be installed in the hole under Cross' parking lot, with pavement applied on top of it.
Cross said he'll pay the initial cost to repair the tunnel, but then he plans to request reimbursement from the city.
"All the storm sewers are the city's property no matter where you go," he said. "Any engineer would say it's a city problem. Why would a landowner be responsible for all the water coming off a mountain?"
Mayor Robert Berry said tunnels on private property are landowners' responsibility. Cross has owned the parking lot since 1977.

Rare river sinkhole created whirlpool, led to man's death

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — A kayaker bypassed a part of an Arkansas scenic river known as Dead Man's Curve during a weekend trip, but a rare sinkhole created a whirlpool along his alternate channel and dragged him to his death.
Donald Wright, 64, from Searcy, Arkansas, died Saturday at Saddler Falls along the Spring River, said Keith Stephens, a spokesman for the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. At least one other person was injured.
Sinkholes are common in the northern half of Arkansas, where subterranean limestone erodes away easily. Small whirlpools are common where bits of land extend into waterways, but having a sinkhole open a whirlpool in the middle of a stream is uncommon.
"I've been here for 40 years. This is the first one I've ever heard forming in a river like this," said Bill Prior, a geologist supervisor at the Arkansas Geological Survey.
