Sinkhole: A possible sinkhole has forced two families from this Florida duplex in the same area where another sinkhole opened under a man's bedroom, killing him less than a month ago
A possible sinkhole has forced two families from their Florida duplex in the same area where another sinkhole opened under a man's bedroom, killing him less than a month ago.
Hillsborough County Fire Rescue crews responded to a 911 call Tuesday evening and found that the Florida duplex in Seffner had buckled floors and cracked walls, but no sinkhole was visible, according to spokesman Ronnie Rivera.
Officials say the soil was soft around the home. They recommended that the residents spend the night somewhere else.

The home is three miles from the spot where 37-year-old Jeffery Bush died after a sinkhole swallowed a portion of his home.
The sinkhole, which was later sealed with dirt, forced two adjacent homes to evacuate.
Bush disappeared into the hole that opened up under his bedroom in the middle of the night in a scene that his brother, Jeremy Bush, likened to a horror movie.
Sinkholes in Florida are caused by the state's porous geological bedrock, according to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.

As acidic rainwater filters into the ground, it dissolves the rock, causing erosion that can lead to underground caverns, which cause sinkholes when they collapse.
'There's hardly a place in Florida that's immune to sinkholes,' Sandy Nettles, who owns a geology consulting company in the Tampa area. 'There's no way of ever predicting where a sinkhole is going to occur.'
