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."

Get in the hole! Astonishing moment a 15ft sinkhole swallowed a GOLFER as he walked along the fairway of course in St Louis
- Mark Mihal was with friends at the Annbriar Golf Course near Waterloo when he suddenly disappeared into the turf on the fairway of the 14th hole
- He landed on a pile of mud in the cavernous space that could have fit up to 10 people and looked like it was about to sink further
- Mortgage banker was hoisted out of the cave by his friends who climbed down a ladder to tie a rope around his waist
- Suffered a dislocated shoulder and has vowed not to return to the course

A Missouri father was hoping for a hole-in-one when he set out for a day of golf on Friday - but he didn't think he'd end up the one in the hole.
St Louis mortgage banker and avid golfer Mark Mihal was with three friends at the Annbriar Golf Course near Waterloo when he suddenly disappeared into the turf on the fairway of the 14th hole.
The 43-year-old fell into a bell-shaped enclosure below the green that measured 15 feet deep and 10 feet wide, surprising his golf pals and the course management who said this was the first time anything like this had happened in Annbriar's 20-year history.
'I noticed this anomaly in the fairway and went to have a look but, by the time I took one step, I was gone, I was underground,' Mihal told MailOnline.
'When I went through (the opening) I couldn't see anything, I didn't know how far I was going or what I was going to hit.'
He said, after plummeting through the earth, he landed on a pile of mud in a cavernous space that could have fit up to 10 people.
'I was just lying on the side of the mound,' he said. 'There was some room in there, it was sort of like a room or a cave. It wasn't confining. It was very dark, though after a while my eyes got used to it. But I couldn't look up because there was stuff still falling.'
The rescue was precarious as no one knew whether the hole would expand, swallowing more people. The fact he dislocated his shoulder in the fall didn't help either.
'I knew the only way to get out was straight up and I didn't have the use of my left arm,' he said.

Pennsylvania Family Evacuated After Giant Sinkhole Forms Behind Home (Mar 10)
A sinkhole measuring 25 to 30 feet wide and 10 to 12 feet deep opened up a Bethlehem Township backyard forcing the evacuation of residents at 1502 Second Street.
Doris Jenkins was awakened during the night by a loud bang and one of her three dogs scratching at the door for a walk.
“I didn’t see anything at first because it was dark,” Jenkins said. “But when I went around the corner, I saw it caved in. I told my daughter get the car off the driveway because the car would have went too."
The house sustained structural damage in the back and has been deemed uninhabitable by Bethlehem Township Fire Marshal Stephen Gallagher. Township Manager Howard Kutzler said an engineer from GAI Engineers would be assessing the sinkhole.
The area has been barricaded and an “unauthorized entry” sign has been posted on Jenkins’ front door. Jenkins is residing with family while her daughter, Ingeborg, and granddaughter, are staying at a hotel.

A sinkhole has been confirmed at 1204 Cedar Tree Lane, at 240 Faithway Drive.
The sinkhole is reportedly in the backyard.
The sinkhole was found underneath a fence between two homes.
Hillsborough County Code Enforcement responded to the scene. County officials say right now the hole doesn't appear to be big enough to threaten any homes, but some residents aren't taking any chances.
Officials estimate at this point it's about 12 feet around and 5 feet deep.
"It was reported as a sinkhole. I looked at it and it looked like a depression to me but it was reported as a sinkhole,” said Willie Puz, spokesperson with Hillsborough County.Some people who live in the neighborhood are terrified, considering what happened just down the street.
"We're not going to stay in the house anymore,” said Katia Vargas, a neighbor. “My mom and my whole entire family (are) scared to live in it because of what happened to my neighbor. We have sinkholes, so we're just going to stay in a hotel for now and see what we can do."
Ana Maria Serna owns one of the houses where the hole has formed. She was renting it out and no one has lived in it for about a year. She said when she bought it in 2003, there was a small hole in the backyard but she didn't think too much about it.
"Only my neighbor who said "be careful" because in the backyard there was a hole but as for the person who made the inspection they said "everything is good, everything is good,” Serna said.
People are living in the other house that's affected but they declined to comment.
Neighbors are worried because of the sinkhole just two miles away that swallowed Jeffrey Bush, but county officials said the two are not directly related.

Sinkhole Found at Largo Mall
A sinkhole was discovered Friday in the Largo Mall parking lot, less than 24 hours after a sinkhole swallowed a man in his Hillsborough County bedroom, the Tampa Bay Times reports.
The sinkhole was about 10 feet long and several feet wide, the newspaper reported, citing Largo Fire Chief Mike Wallace. No one was injured or fell in, and the hole was barricaded, according to the Times.
Thursday night, 36-year-old Jeffrey Bush fell into a sinkhole that opened up beneath his Seffner home as he slept, Brandon Patch reports. He had still not been found Saturday morning.

Man Swallowed Alive By Sinkhole Under his Bedroom
60ft-deep crater that claimed Jeff Bush’s life after sucking him out of his bedroom into the ground.
In a matter of seconds, the earth opened under Jeff Bush's bedroom and swallowed him up like something out of a horror movie. About the only thing left was the TV cable running down into the hole.
Bush, 37, was presumed dead Friday, the victim of a sinkhole -- a hazard so common recently in Florida that state law requires home insurers to provide coverage against the danger.
The sinkhole, estimated at 20 feet across and 20 feet deep, caused the home's concrete floor to cave in around 11 p.m. Thursday as everyone in the Tampa-area house was turning in for the night. It gave way with a loud crash that sounded like a car hitting the house and brought Bush's brother running.
Jeremy Bush said he jumped into the hole but couldn't see his brother and had to be rescued himself by a sheriff's deputy who reached out and pulled him to safety as the ground crumbled around him.
"The floor was still giving in and the dirt was still going down, but I didn't care. I wanted to save my brother," Jeremy Bush said through tears Friday in a neighbor's yard. "But I just couldn't do nothing."
He added: "I could swear I heard him hollering my name to help him."
Officials lowered equipment into the sinkhole and saw no signs of life, said Hillsborough County Fire Rescue spokeswoman Jessica Damico.
A dresser and the TV set had vanished down the hole, along with most of Bush's bed.
"All I could see was the cable wire running from the TV going down into the hole. I saw a corner of the bed and a corner of the box spring and the frame of the bed," Jeremy Bush said.
At a news conference Friday night, county administrator Mike Merrill described the home as "seriously unstable." He said no one can go in the home because officials were afraid of another collapse and losing more lives. The soil around the home was very soft and the sinkhole was expected to grow.
Engineers said they may have to demolish the small, sky-blue house, even though from the outside there appeared to be nothing wrong with the four-bedroom, concrete-wall structure, built in 1974.
"I cannot tell you why it has not collapsed yet," said Bill Bracken, the owner of engineering company called on to assess the sinkhole and home.
Engineers said there was an initial collapse followed by another one a short time later. The hole was 15 feet deep but grew to about 25 feet deep, and it was about 20 feet to 30 feet across.
More than 500 sinkholes have been reported in Hillsborough County alone since the government started keeping track in 1954, according to the state's environmental agency.
Jeremy Bush said someone came out to the home a couple of months ago to check for sinkholes and other things, apparently for insurance purposes.
"He said there was nothing wrong with the house. Nothing. And a couple of months later, my brother dies. In a sinkhole," Bush said.
Six people were at the home at the time, including Jeremy Bush's wife and his 2-year-old daughter. The brothers worked maintenance jobs, including picking up trash along highways.

(CNN) -- A 36-year-old man disappeared Thursday night after a sinkhole opened up underneath his bedroom in Florida, authorities said.
Right after the ground started to give way in his home in Brandon, the man's brother frantically tried to keep him from sinking into the hole, an emergency official said.
The first deputy on the scene pulled the victim's brother from the edge of the growing sinkhole, said Jessica Damico, a spokeswoman for the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue.
Authorities have not been able to contact the man as the sinkhole continued to expand. The house was deemed unsafe for rescuers to search for him, Damico said.
Late Thursday night, the hole was about 30 feet wide and 15 feet deep and still growing, authorities said.
Area homes have been evacuated.

Sheep eaten by sinkhole in Croatia
19.01.2013
Shepherd, whose sheep gone there, told him that her country withdrew. "Also that the man I was walking he could fall in the hole, who would have found him and knew where he was," wrote a reader.
He adds that "the opening hole one meter, the width of four, and the depth of about six meters with an extension into the abyss."
"When the sheep perished, nor heard nor seen," she told us his daughter in a telephone interview.

Sinkhole on major NJ highway damages 18 cars
WOODBRIDGE, N.J. (AP) — A sinkhole on a major New Jersey highway has blown tires on 18 vehicles.
The sinkhole was discovered around 6 a.m. Thursday in the right lane of the Garden State Parkway southbound in Woodbridge.
Two lanes had been closed while a temporary fix was made, causing a backup. They were reopened around 4:45 p.m. Thursday.
The New Jersey Turnpike Authority oversees the parkway. Turnpike authority spokesman Tom Feeney says engineers are trying to figure out the cause. He says possibilities include failure of a nearby culvert or collapsed drainpipes under the road.
Feeney says a permanent fix will be made with work at night and on weekends.

Queensland Australia Sinkhole Swallows Marina Building (Feb 19)
A 20-metre sinkhole opened on the banks of the Burnett River, swallowing part of the Midtown Marina in the central Queensland.
''The way it's happened is very frightening actually to see it collapse so quickly in such a large area,'' Mayor Mal Forman said.
''But I think if you look down there, there's more area that can fall away as well.''
Authorities are considering evacuating up to 10 businesses at risk.
Midtown Marina owner Jan Douglas said she came into work early because "a woman's intuition" told her something was going to happen.
When she arrived, she found the back half of her business was being held up by only a gate and, a few minutes later, it collapsed into the ground.
"It's a two-storey building, so it shows you how big that sink hole is."
Authorities fear more buildings could topple into a sinkhole that has swallowed a two-storey building in the flood-ravaged Queensland city of Bundaberg.
Mayor Mal Forman says about 10 businesses, including a multi-level hotel, are at risk along the Burnett River.
