A Massive Sinkhole in Daisetta, Texas
Texas Sinkhole
The town of Daisetta (Texas) is being partly swallowed up by a huge and very rare sinkhole. Authorities believe that this massive hole grown to an astonish 600 feet wide and 200 feet deep.Daisetta, has a local population of 1,000 people and it's situated 60 miles northeast of Houston.
This massive sinkhole was found when authorities were checking the mainlines for natural gas and oil to make sure that they were ok after they discovered a some leaks a couple of days before.
This massive texas sinkhole may have been the result of a land lying on top of a salt brine where oil and natural gas are naturally store in earth's surface.
Tv News coverage, showed a tractor, some oil fied equipment, telephone poles, all falling into this huge sinkhole as it grew hour after hour.
Farm-to-Market Road 770 was closed to traffic and vehicles were being diverted to FM 834 over concerns the pit could spread to the roadway.
Sinkholes are rare and often take up to two weeks to stabilize, said Geoffrey Paine, a geologist and geophysicist with the University of Texas.

- Hello my dear! Well, what do I think about sinkholes? A lot and a lot more since I moved to mom's place -- you see, Mom and Al are really WORRIED and concerned about having a sinkhole on mom's property -- I am worried now too! And, did a lens sinkhole-usa -- and added your lens and Heather's to share MORE information. Oh my, sinkholes can be a real concern.
