About 20 residents of six homes at a mobile home park along Florida’s Gulf Coast were evacuated after an 18-metre-wide, 10.6-metre-deep hole opened in the ground.
The residents of Tarpon Shores Mobile Home Park in Tarpon Springs were taken on Wednesday to the park’s nearby clubhouse as a precaution while officials took a closer look at the hole, a city spokesperson said.

The Tampa Bay Times reported that authorities were investigating if a water line break was responsible or if the deep hole was a naturally occurring sinkhole.
Some seasonal residents of the trailer park are considering heading home depending how long they’re kept from their homes.
