The Earth continued her campaign against the human race this week, attacking Floridian retirement communities with more sinkholes.
They came in the night:
Frank Neumann got quite a shock around 1 a.m. on Thursday when he heard a sinkhole open up at his retirement community in central Florida. A few hours later, around 3 a.m., police knocked on Neumann's door and told him he had to leave.
"I heard some noise," Neumann tells WCJB. "I thought it was thunder. Evidently that was the ground crashing in on the sinkhole."
Gaea has upped her game with knock-on effects, following the sinkholes' eruption:
After the sinkholes swallowed land in the neighborhood, a nearby lake quickly began to drain at a "fairly rapid pace," says Paul Bloom of the Marion County Sheriff's Office.
CBS News reported the lake was manmade, and workers at a nearby golf course were trying to drain it to remedy the situation.
Sinkhole by sinkhole, her campaign continues.
