Think your day is bad?
NIXA (AP) – A leisurely Sunday morning turned frightening for one southwest
Missouri man when a giant sinkhole opened up and swallowed a portion of his
home, including his garage and a car parked inside.
The homeowner was reading the paper when the ground started shifting around
8:30 a.m. yesterday. Initially, the man thought a tornado was responsible
for the loud rumble, said city spokesman Bryan Newberry.
No one was hurt, but at least six other homes in a half-block area were
evacuated while geologists evaluated the widening hole. It measured between
55 and 65 feet in diameter and about 75 feet deep.
