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 APPEARS IN YUMA, ARIZONA (DEC 25)

A massive sink opened up on Arizona Avenue near 10th Street early Monday. The hole measures approximately 60 feet in length, 30 feet in width, and nearly 25 feet deep.

Motorists traveling on Arizona Avenue where it curves into Walnut Avenue got a shock early Monday morning when they came across a huge sinkhole where the northbound lane had been in the roadway near 10th Street.

So instead of having Monday off for Christmas, city workers were scrambling to repair the damage.

What had been the northbound lane of the busy roadway in the area between a county retention basin on one side and McNeece Brothers Oil, 1060 S. Walnut Ave., on the other had become an enormous hole 60 feet long, 30 feet wide and 25 feet deep.

Massive Highway Crevasse Dismantles Semi in Northern California (Dec 21)
A big-rig truck broke into pieces on Highway 162 in Mendocino County Friday morning after a 30-foot sinkhole opened up in the roadway.

Around 7 a.m. the trucker was hauling supplies near Covelo when the sinkhole opened and separated his cab and the trailer, while tearing off an axel in the process. The driver’s cab was stranded on the washed-out portion of the road. He was not injured, according to the Mendocino County Sheriff Department.

People traveling into Covelo – a town of about 3,000 – are being forced to use an alternate dirt road for the time being.

Water Main Break in Portland Maine Floods Roads, Closes Schools (Dec 19)

The entire peninsula of Portland, including the city's downtown, is under a boil-water order because of a water main break. Two public schools are closed and traffic on Somerset Street has been completely shut down.

The water main break Wednesday on Somerset Street, near Whole Foods, flooded the road with water that reached a depth that topped headlights of parked cars.

Now, left behind are a number of questions, like: who's responsible for all of the damage, and are these recent water main breaks a sign of a bigger problem in the two cities? Just over the summer, 6 water mains burst in the span of two weeks.

Massive Water Main Rupture in Oklahoma Floods Homes, Prompts Evacuations (Dec 17)

Tulsa, Oklahoma  - At least three businesses and eight homes are flooded out after a massive water main break in the center of Tulsa. The rising water led to widespread evacuations, including a daycare, where inflatable rafts were brought in to help get people out. Public works crews say they were able to shut down the 48-inch water main, though it'll take several hours to re-pressurize water lines and restore service to customers. No word on the damage -- or on how the main broke in the first place.

A water main break on 61st Street at 92nd East Avenue flooded at least three businesses and eight homes and shut down 61st Street in both directions Monday morning.  East 61st Street between South Memorial Drive and South Mingo Road will be closed to traffic until Tuesday evening, while crews work to repair the break.

Tulsa Police and the Tulsa Fire Departments assisted with evacuations because of the rising water.

The fire department had inflatable boats ready to go. They've got a total of 15 boats of different sizes throughout the city. But once the water was shut off, firefighters and police officers were able to carry and walk children out so they could be re-located.

The owner of the daycare said the children were moved to other daycare locations, once it was safe to do so and that daycare will be closed for several days.

"It got up to the door, but, didn't come into the building," said TFD Chief Stan May.

Public Works crews were able to shut down the 48-inch water main and, as soon as the pumping began, the water receded quickly, leaving behind a huge mess of mud clumps and rocks.

The water rose so quickly, it caught people off guard, including the firefighters. A fire truck from the Tulsa Fire Department was stranded in the high water, which was at least two feet deep in places.

"We've had some breaks due to the drought conditions, the ground shifting causing stress on the lines, but, right now, don't know what the cause was," said Clayton Edwards, Director of the water and sewer department.

Woodland Hills Church of Christ took the worst damage. 

The clean up for the church is going to be massive. The pews must be removed, the carpet ripped up and everything cleaned or thrown away.

"[It's] a total mess. There's about an inch of water all over the whole building, said church Elder Wilson Forrest.

The church just went through something like this two years ago and that time it cost $200,000, so they are expecting a similar expense this time. There will be no church service for the time being, with Christmas about a week away.

"It'll be two to three weeks before we can worship again here," Forrest said.

Public Works said no one should be without water and water pressure should be back to normal, because no customers were tied directly to the line that broke. Residents are all on smaller lines.

Mingo Valley Christian School was forced to close because of the break.  Two Tulsa City-County Library locations are also closed Monday due to lack of water.  The Hardesty Regional Library, 8316 East 93^rd Street, and Helmerich Library, 5131 East 91^st Street, are closed for the remainder of the day.  Current plans are to reopen Tuesday.

Road Collapse and Large Sinkhole Near San Francisco, California (Dec 3) -

Both directions of Vine Hill Road in Santa Cruz are closed at Mile Marker Two near Camino Vista at the upper end of the road.

And in Lafayette, on Mountain View Drive, the road split leaving a gaping sinkhole that is 80 feet long, 40 feet wide and 15 feet deep.

Repair work on the sinkhole continued Monday and could be closed through the winter.

the Daily Mail has it dated from the 1st century and mentions another one from October!  So now suddenly they claim that holes are appearing due to caves dug to hide from the invading Danes 2000 years go. lol

Hole in Essex, UK prompts evacuation

A family have been told to leave their home after the ground outside it collapsed into a 25ft-wide (7m) hole.

The authorities claim the cause is a 'denehole' from the 17th century! Excuse my skepticism but isn't it amazing that it would take another four centuries for it to be discovered... Bunkum! Particularly as a decade ago the owners had a full geological survey performed when they bought the property, but it failed to reveal any of this at all.
So the question they should really be asking is, why now?

Lafayette: Giant sinkhole collapses road

LAFAYETTE -- A portion of road that collapsed under the siege of weekend storms likely will not be repaired for several months, a city official said Monday.

Heavy stormwater flow ruptured a water pipe and caused a portion of Mountain View Drive, between Crescent Drive and Brook Street, to sink Sunday morning, leaving a gap 80 feet long, 40 feet wide and 15 feet deep, Lafayette City Manager Steven Falk said.

Crews worked to prevent any more damage to water pipes and gas lines that run under the road, Falk said. They also are trying to drain standing water that could further erode the road.

"The priority (Sunday) was to stabilize the water pipes and gas lines, and we did that," Falk said. "The next priority now is to implement a temporary drainage system."

Repair work to the sinkhole continued Monday morning and is expected to be ongoing, Falk said. The road is expected to be closed through the winter, he said.

Nobody was walking on the road when it sank away and no injuries were reported.

Residents near the sinkhole can take alternate routes and have access to Mount Diablo Boulevard, the main road that runs through the downtown area, Falk said.

"We were fortunate, too, in that no private properties were damaged," he added.

Falk said that it appears stormwater ruptured an East Bay Municipal Utility District pipeline that was 12 inches in diameter and the break eroded and undermined the road.

Bus Nearly Swallowed by Sinkhole in Nanjing China (Nov 29) -
At 10.30am on Thursday morning, at the junction of Taiping South Road and Zhongshan East Road, a sinkhole opened and almost consumed a large public bus and the 31-passengers on board. Fortunately the size of the bus caused it to get stuck in the hole, and saved those on board from serious injury.
