Couple evacuated from mobile home after sinkhole opens
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A Florida couple was evacuated from their mobile home after a large sinkhole opened up at an intersection just in front of their house.
The Ocala Star-Banner reports that the hole — estimated to be 25 feet (7meters) wide and 15 feet (4 meters) deep — opened early Tuesday at the large Rolling Greens subdivision.
Linda McCormick lives in a home in the same neighborhood and says she had noticed a dip in the road for weeks.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Heavy rains in the area Monday may have hastened the hole's expansion.
Meanwhile, across town, repairs had just begun on another sinkhole that opened up outside a restaurant in June and almost swallowed a car coming out of the drive-thru.
That hole, about 25 feet wide and 25 feet deep, is being filled with concrete and cement.
