What?! Another Sinkhole?!

If you have no idea what a sinkhole is, then check out this photo which happened during a devastating tropical storm in Central America. In the northern part of Guatemala City, the downpour created a giant sinkhole that swallowed up a space larger than the area of a street intersection. A three-story building and a house reportedly fell into the hole.
Residents said that a poor sewage drainage system underground was to blame for the sinkhole. I remember quite well that a similar hole opened up in that same country last year. It was the first time I saw what a sinkhole is.
Awed and astonished at the first sight of it but sad and scared thinking if it might had been my house in that area and the ground just swallowed my house.
Eep! Perish the thought. So that’s it! Lesser terror news these days but a lot, and I do mean a lot of nature related calamities and disasters! Sigh … what next? I just hope mother nature will calm down.
