another sinkhole!!!

 

(above: this is the only picture I could find of it. photo credits, bozeman daily chronicle. and another sinkhole to compare the two)
this sinkhole is tiny (6ft wide, i don't know how deep, maybe 3-4ft?) this sinkhole is on a road by where I live!!!! i saw this in the paper this morning and FREAKED out!!! apparently the river flooded and caused the soil to erode under the asphalt (the rivers are SO high here because of all the snow melt off plus all the rain is causing the rivers to flood). this sinkhole also caused a underground gas line to rupture. it is so exciting for something like this to happen where you live!! (even on a small scale)
