So they repaired the road where it caved in

but it'll keep happening. It caved because there's a cavern under it, it wasn't due to a water main break...

Stay away. They should block that part of the street off, definitely, before somebody loses their life. They're not too swift. I suppose they'll wait till God forbid, a child or ANY person for that matter, falls in a big hole or a car is swallowed whole. It's really in a bad area. I wouldn't want my house in that area.

@LadyGrace I had just driven over that very spot when I pulled into my client's driveway!! A few hours later, it caved!!
@Tumbleweed That’s too close!

Oh wow I hope it's safe to drive on. This would cause me so much anxiety I'd probably have to move

We had an interstate closed because sink holes developed. There were abandon iron mines under it.

They might ought to change the route on that road. That seems like a tragedy waiting to happen to keep patching it.

@cherokeepatti It's right in the cul de sac! It was about 10ft deep when I left!

@Tumbleweed ooh that is too bad. That neighborhood may end up caving in or some of the homes. It is very dangerous.
Tumbleweed · F
@cherokeepatti It's very close to my client's house, I took that puc standing in her driveway!

I actually have a very weird phobia of sink holes. Lol
KentuckyFriedFloozy · 26-30, F
@samueltyler2 I've never met anybody else that specifically has a fear of falling into a sink hole randomly

@KentuckyFriedFloozy i fear bridgrs collapsing when driving over.

@KentuckyFriedFloozy Me too for real

Don't go there😟
Tumbleweed · F
@Virgo79 I have to, for work! I was standing in my client's driveway when I took this pic, there's no way to go in from the back of her house.

@Tumbleweed don't get sucked up🤗

Natural, or something like an old mine?
Tumbleweed · F
@ArishMell They know I'm sure. This isn't the first time it's happened...

@Tumbleweed It reminds me of something a friend living not far from London told me, about local road-building breaching a large cavity with a solid rock floor. This happened back in the 1970s I think.

The County Council would not seek or take advice, and simply ordered pouring concrete down it. It took vast quantities of concrete until eventually plugging it - allegedly at the cost of bankrupting three ready-mixed concrete suppliers.

The road-works cutting had breached the roof of a long-abandoned underground stone quarry whose extensive galleries are on a gentle slope. So most of the concrete was wasted by flowing away.

Local cavers had already explored and mapped these old mines, creating a sizeable archive of high-quality knowledge; but being amateur historians without fancy qualifications and even fancier offices, the council planners simply ignored them.

@ArishMell Oh that's terrible!!!
I read, several years ago, where a road crew or somebody actually discovered a cave in Mexico, the crystal cave, it's beautiful!!!
