Sinkhole swallows pond, Stunned Couple

Sinkhole swallows pond, the couple in Calif woke up early on Sunday and found out that a huge sinkhole had swallowed the pond in their backyard.

Homeowner Mark Korb, who lives at the property with his wife, said that the hole had drained the pond behind his Newcastle home in just five hours. Previously it had taken seven days to empty the same volume of water.

A sinkhole is a hole that opens up suddenly in the ground. They mostly occur because of erosion, underground water that gathers naturally or due to man-made activities.

Mr Korb told KCRA that the crater 'looks like the moon' on his rural property which is situated close to Dutch Ravine.

Last month, a man died after a 20ft sinkhole opened beneath his family home in Florida.

Jeff Bush, 37, was in his bedroom in Seffner on February 28 when the earth opened and took him and everything else in his room. Five others in the house escape unharmed.

The effort to find Bush's body was called off after crews deemed the underground cavity too risky and made the difficult decision to fill up the hole.

The family home was also demolished because of the danger.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, Florida, Texas, Alabama, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania are the states most affected by sinkholes.

While they often occur from natural causes, sinkholes can be man-made and caused by human activity.

Groundwater pumping and construction are the most likely culprits. They can also occur when water drainage systems are changed.
