I hear it is burping. Why is there a local media blackout?

 

[SpeedRacer]

That looks like the beginning to every Godzilla/alien invasion/killer space robots movie. I woulda ran like a school girl.

Never had to worry about sink holes growing up in the mountains. They were solid and secur.

 

[Mojo Rider]

If I saw that I'm pretty sure I'd be running for my life..... not standing there taking a video.

Hadn't heard of it, but my guess is that they are preparing for an "untainted" jury

What makes you think there is a media blackout?

Maybe had the camera on extreme zoom?

Curt, no joke. That is some serious power by Mother Nature. Engulfed that area of land in seconds. Wow!

 

[SeventhSon]

They need to change that area to CONSUMPTION Parrish.

At first I thought the filmer was in a boat. Once I realized he was on the ground next to it

No doubt. If I saw something like that before my very eyes I would start to doubt the "firm" in Terra Firma under my feet.

When DOTD is in the process of planning a detour of Hwy 70 (which apparently they are), it's a big deal.

Yep, I think I'd consider moving- before Mama Nature forces the issue.

Any geologists/geophysicists on the board? How big of an area can this sink hole engulf?

This is a cool video but shows how massive these things can really get. No telling how big the void is under this thing.
