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 Sinkhole Closes Road in Ossining, New York
Discovered August 30
The huge sinkhole on North State Rd. between Pleasantville Rd. and 9A is going to be problem for Ossining and Croton drivers for the foreseeable future (see picture). The sinkhole extends across the entire road and prevents motorists from entering the gas station on the corner.
Briarcliff Manor resident Peter Seissler could be seen taking a look at the huge hole in the road with his daughter. "It's a problem obviously, but there's 'x' amount of manpower in the municipal governments—and so you have to deal with it," said Seissler.
In Ossining cars could be seen driving right though the stoplight at the intersection of Campwoods Rd. and Croton Ave., which has lost power. Many motorists didn't even notice that they were driving right though a traffic signal. Officials say that the stoplight is the only one that is still out in Ossining.
There are currently 1,022 people without power in Ossining right now.
On Ossining's waterfront the owners of The Boathouse Restaurant are moving everything back inside their building. "We had to take everything out of the restaurant. It took a day. We lost food, we lost stuff sure," said the owner of The Boathouse Restaurant Val Polidoro. She says she hopes the restaurant will be open by tomorrow night or Thursday.

Mysterious Sinkhole Opens at YMCA Soccer Field - Wilmington, North Carolina
Discovered August 29Wilmington Family YMCA employees were in for a surprise Monday morning: a 15-foot-wide sinkhole in their soccer field.
No one knows what exactly spawned the hole, which was neatly round and between 7 and 10 feet deep.
"It still seems to be a little bit of a mystery," said Kelly Pittman, the YMCA's resource development director.
The YMCA hired contractors to come investigate the sinkhole and fill it.
Wesley Corder, a project engineer with Thomson & Co., said he could not identify a cause. Corder probed more than 16 feet down from the surface and found no evidence of water from an old well or some other structure. He has seen sinkholes in Castle Hayne, but not in Wilmington.
He said there is about two feet of clay at the surface, then sand below it. If the sand gets wet, he said, it can liquefy and create a sinkhole.
"Typically, they happen after a major rain event," he said. Over the weekend, Hurricane Irene dumped at least 7 inches of rain on Wilmington as it churned offshore.
"Obviously, there's some cause," said Dick Jones, the YMCA's chief executive officer, while looking into the hole.
Tuesday morning, a backhoe was packing down dirt into the hole. Jones said soccer starts in two weeks, so they wanted the hole filled. The YMCA happened to be closed this week for regular maintenance.
"This was an unexpected project," Jones said, smiling. "It wasn't on our list of to-dos."

Huge Sinkhole Opens in Forks Township, Pennsylvania
Discovered August 28
A sinkhole spanning about 25 yards and as wide as a car opened up behind a block a stores at 1855 Sullivan Trail on Sunday, forcing the stores to temporarily close.
The stores include Big Woody's and Jasmine restaurants, Supercuts, Verizon Wireless and Ivy Cleaners.
According to the building's owner, Joe Posh, the hole opened during the early-morning hours Sunday as the result of a ruptured water line. Water and gas lines have been shut down and signs on the stores from the Forks Township Fire Department say the stores are unsafe for occupancy.
The stores will remain closed for at least two days. Employees from Big Woody's and Ivy Cleaners were at the stores today removing items.
According to Posh, it will likely be several more days before the sinkhole can be fixed. It is not clear if the ruptured water line was the result of Hurricane Irene.
The nearby Walgreens and Ace Hardware stores did not sustain any damage and are open for business as usual.

20 Sinkholes Plague Streets in Pierre, South Dakota
Discovered August 28
videoPIERRE, SD - As the Missouri River in Pierre sinks lower, so are nearly two dozen gaping holes in the middle of city streets.
"We have about 20 sink holes now and some of them are big enough to swallow a truck and some of them are only three feet across," Pierre city administrator Leon Schochenmaier said.
High ground water caused by unprecedented flooding is to blame for the sinkholes. But they are just a symptom of a much deeper problem. Material is seeping into underground storm sewer pipes causing voids which buckle the streets above.
"The sinkhole is just one indicator of the problem," Schochenmaier said. "What you see in the depression in the street is the curvature accruing in other areas of the street. It just hasn't buckled yet. It could get worse. It probably will get worse."
At this point, no one knows exactly how bad the problem is. City engineers must wait for water levels to drop before they can inspect the issues. But one thing is for sure.
"We have major damage to our storm sewer system. And it is going to take several million dollars to repair and replace it," Schochenmaier said.
Because the water levels are still dropping, city officials say they probably can't fix anything until next year at the earliest. In the meantime, the city plans to fill the holes with gravel and plow around them during the winter months.
And while the sinkholes are still wide open, the city says no one has been hurt by falling or crashing into them.

Huge Sinkhole Consumes Highway in New Jersey
Discovered August 28
A sink hole on Route 33 in Tinton Falls has "consumed two eastbound lanes," according to deputy office of emergency management coordinator David Boehning.
The sink hole, located between Shafto Road and Wardell Road, is growing, said Boehning via e-mail, making the westbound lanes unsafe. The Tinton Falls Police Department has closed the roads involved and traffic has been diverted by the NJ Division of Transportation, he said.
A natural gas contractor is on location to maintain the "integrity of the two gas mains within the sinkhole," said Boehning.
All emergency vehicles that use this stretch of Hwy 33 to access Jersey Shore Medical, will have to use an alternate route.

Large Sinkhole Closes Road in Charlotte, North Carolina
Discoved August 26
CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - A section of Park Road is closed to all traffic this weekend due to a 24-inch water main break and sinkhole.
The water main broke just before 11:00 Friday night, causing the giant sinkhole in the middle of the road.
This is in the 7200 block of Park Road near Forest Hill Church and about a mile from South Mecklenburg High School.
No one was hurt, but the sinkhole is about 15 feet wide and has the road shut down between Huntingtown Farms Lane and Goneway Road.
Work is under way to provide access from southbound Park Road to Forest Hill Church for services beginning at 6 p.m. on Saturday evening. The road is closed to all other traffic.
Water service in the area is not impacted.
Crews are mobilized and onsite, and officials are working to determine next steps in the repair process for both the water line and the roadway. More information will be available early next week related to the length of the repair as well as when the road will be accessible to thru traffic.
Residents in the area are strongly advised to stay out of the marked work zone for safety reasons.
The following detour is in place:
Inbound: From Park Rd. make a right onto the 6900 block Sharon Rd, bear left on Sharon to Fairview Rd. make a left onto Fairview to the 5500 block of Park Rd.
Outbound: At the 7000 block of Park South Dr to Fairview Rd. Right on Fairview to Sharon Rd. Right onto Sharon Rd, back to Park Rd.
No word on what caused the water line to break.

Steamroller Swallowed by Large Sinkhole in Orem - Salt Lake City, Utah
Discovered August 24OREM -- With the help of a crane, a steam roller that went head-first into a sink hole in Orem was finally removed.
The roller sank approximately 15 feet into the road near near 1100 W. and 1200 North, after driving over what appeared to be solid ground.
According to a spokesperson for Clyde Companies, the roller may have caused damage to a gas line running through the area, and several surrounding homes were evacuated.
Orem city officials are evaluating the damage, but it is not yet known when those evacuated will be able to return, or the severity of the damage.
According to the spokesperson, the roller has broken sewage lines, and sewage is currently leaking into the hole.
The operator was able to jump away from the roller as it sank, and was not injured in the incident.
What caused the sinkhole to form initially is still under investigation.

Large Sinkhole Closes Street in Downtown Hagerstown, Maryland
Discovered August 22
videoWest Baltimore Street is closed between Hood Street and Summit Avenue while workers from the City of Hagerstown's Water Department are repairing a 12-inch water main that broke at that location, said Michael Spiker, director of utilities for the City of Hagerstown Utilities Department.
The water main broke at about 3 a.m., Spiker said.
The running water from the water main created a sinkhole in the street, according to Spiker.
The hole measured 12 feet long by 6 feet wide and 4 feet deep.
Workers shut down the water main when they arrived on the scene.
Repairing the water main will require more excavation in the street, according to Spiker.
The street is expected to be closed until noon today, Spiker said.
